Right, but it's pretty hard to know whether it works really for all machines, simply because the current MT-detection is nothing but a pure guess work. As mentioned in another mail, there are devices that have no this bit but reports multi-finger detections without tracking. So, there are definitely other things to be checked. Thus, I'm inclined to add a module option, at least, for *disabling* MT for non-working machines. Also, another question is whether it's safe to enable MT even for user-space that don't understand MT.
