Linux + Multitouch display = open source 10 fingered goodness

,----[ Quote ]
| In order to emulate these results, youâll need 
| the Linux kernel 2.6.31, a modified version of 
| X.org 1.7, and supported hardware and drivers. 
| So weâre not quite at the point where you can 
| just pick up a netbook with a multitouch 
| display, install Fedora or another Linux 
| distro, and expect to tap your way to bliss 
| with up to 10 fingers on the screen. But weâre 
| getting closer.

Multitouch screencast overload

,----[ Quote ]
| Going a bit more deeply on how KDE SC 4.4
| will support multitouch, here are 3 longer
| videos:
|
| The first one shows marble. Is now possible
| (with the usual disclaimer on devices and
| systems that support it, hoping it will
| become a more pervasive feature) to zoom
| the earth with a two fingers gesture,
| making a retty natural interacion
|
| OGG version
|
| The second one shows Plasma: it's possible
| to move, resize and rotate the widgets with
| two fingers, making them a bit more "real
| objects".
