Bug Description

I wish i could be more helpful
But this just shows up on starting the laptop.
Incidentally, it's reporting that my synaptics touchpad has device touches:2 but i know for a fact that it is capable of atleast 3 finger touch recognition. Symclient reports and detects the 3 fingers. 3 finger touch gestures did work in 11.10, but have stopped working in 12.04 and I have no idea why.

Hi Rishi,

Just for your information, your trackpad is most likely semi-multitouch only. The uTouch stack now only works with full multitouch devices. We have a bug that tracks adding support for semi-multitouch devices again: bug 880591.
