Hi Patrick,

Thanks for taking the time to share your difficulties - it helps
highlight where we need to improve such docs to make them easier to follow.

AFAIK the magimouse-kernel-source package is only for the Magic Mouse. I
believe that's why you see those errors.

The instructions we have for testing multi-touch with the Magic Trackpad
in Maverick are here, step by step:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicTrackpad

They are dense and branch into different pages, I've tested them in a
clean Maverick nightly as of last Thursday. I am rebuilding a clean box
with this very same setup again every few days to make sure any updates
are reflected in that wiki.

I am not aroun after 6PM EST but I'd guess you need to actively ping
someone in order to get help. Today by that time if there are any parts
missing or that need newer information you will have it.

Right now the only visible test I've done is using the PyMT examples,
which is documented here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/PyMT

I am told (and have seen) UI multitouch works *only after installing the
ubuntu-netbook package* so I am documenting that too.

Cheers,
