I am also getting this same problem with my Apple Magic Trackpad on my
Lenovo T540 using only the bluetooth built-in to the laptop, running
Ubuntu 14.04.

My trackpad worked fine on older T510 running Ubuntu 12.04.

Title:
  Apple Magic Trackpad (hid-magicmouse) input freezes on 3 or 4 finger
  touch

Status in Open Input Framework:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Update: The cause has been traced down to either a kernel or hardware
  issue as per comment #4.

  TEST CASE:

  Test case without X or Unity:

  1. Pair the trackpad using hcitool/hidd utilities.
  2. Run: evtest /dev/input/whatever
  You will see lots of input events for 1 or 2 finger touches. However the evtest event stream freezes when 3 or more fingers are touched.

  Test case in Unity:

  Touch 3 fingers: After a second or two (?!) the grab handles appear but the trackpad goes dead. Only my mouse continues to work. The trackpad comes back to life a while after the grab handles vanish, and I've moved the pointer with the mouse.
  Touch 4 fingers: Trackpad goes dead again. Takes a while before it starts responding again. This also triggers bug 859069.
  I can reproduce the above bugs in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 beta 2 (live).
