Hi Murat thanks for the reference.

I made some further changes after testing all this in a clean install
today.

The synaptics driver didn't work for me, and I am getting the same error
as Patrick when using lsinput. So I also added a note on how to look at
the Xorg log to get that information.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicTrackpad

Once those steps were completed, I added the ubuntu-netbook package and
I was able to use multi-touch in the UI too. I tried using the
ubuntu-netbook live image from a USB key but hit two bugs:

http://pad.lv/629721
http://pad.lv/608382

In short, even if you succeed building a bootable usb drive of netbook
edition (by following the workaround on comment #20 of the first bug),
when you boot it won't work without proper drivers as it won't present
panels.

My starting point was a live USB (using the workaround above) of Ubuntu
64-bit standard desktop.

Any comments welcome as we try to document this in a way that any one
can start experimenting and helping with testing :)

Cheers,
