I've been playing with Benjamin's xf86-input-evdev multitouch-subdevs work.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tissoire/xf86-input-evdev/log/?h=multitouch-subdevs

Its supports finger tracking ID and you can control multiple pointers on your X.
What's currently lacking is that xf86-input-evdev doesn't generate click events (something like a LEFT CLICK) for touches.

What also supports Linux MT events is Android Éclair
http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2010/01/06/my-multi-touch-code-ported-to-eclair/

It Uses:
ABS_MT_POSITION_X
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR
ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR

Without ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID.

Luke Hutchison wrote some basic MT demo applications, such as mtvisualizer.apk.
