At this point it appears gestures are hardcoded on the device, I have not yet succeed in installing GEIS on arch and do not know how else to test multitouch.

Take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/69804/how-do-i-change-the-keymap-of-a-single-device-logitech-presenter. Basically the multi touch events come through as keyboard presses. This is what I’m using now,

0x7004E hiragana #Three Down, screendown
0x7004B kpjpcomma # Three Up, screenup
0x90005 leftmeta #Three Right, Activities
0x90004 back #three Left, Back
0x700E2 leftalt #Four up 1
0x7002B f11 #Four up 2, toggle maximized state
0x700E3 leftalt #Four down 1
0x70007 f7 #Four Down 2, Move window
#0x700E3 First part of four right
#0x7004F second part of four right
#0x700E3 First part of four right
#0x70050 second part of four right

the first two hiragana and kpjpcomma are mapped through xbindkeys to move workspaces, I used them because my keyboard has macro keys that are mapped to those keys and already had the xbindkeys working. Overall it seems to work pretty well, four finger touches are not registered very well. I just got this device a few hours ago and am trying to figure out if it sends actual multi touch events or all the magic happens on the device and all that will ever come through are keyboard presses.

Full multitouch gesture support for the Wireless Touchpad, including 4 finger tap can be enabled if using a 3.2 kernel patched with:

It works well. I’m able to get it to work under Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 and Virtualbox Win7 seamlessly.

The only thing I’d really like to find out is if there’s anyway I can swap virtual desktops through this touchpad? I tried the 4-finger gesture (tap > up > right) but the reaction wasn’t what I wanted.

I’m happy to use it anyway though.
