Hey Chase Douglas,
thank you for all the effort on bringing multitouch support for us. (I've been using Remotux for quite some time now and it's great).
I've tried your workaround on my MBP 8,1 running precise and the trackpad becomes "frozen"/stuck. Has there been a change in X.org between these releases that prevent this workaround from working? I'm not using the mactel-ppa, because it doesn't have any packages for precise.

Title:
  Touchpad doesn't allow continuous drag

Status in Mactel Support:
  New
Status in uTouch:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a Mac Book Pro 7,1, I installed
  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from ppa:mactel-support.

  This driver doesn't allow continuous dragging. Continuous dragging is
  when you hold down the mouse button and with the other finger continue
  to drag. This doesn't work in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from the
  PPA (1.2.2-2ubuntu5-mactel1) resulting in limiting the amount of
  dragging a user can do. Users will need to drag with 1 finger with
  more acceleration to get a similar result.

  In comparison, OS X does this properly.
