Add multitouch gesture support to a TouchPad-equipped laptop (developerWorks)

IBM's developerWorks has an article describing how to detect multitouch gestures using a Synaptics TouchPad on Linux. "This article provides tools and code needed to add some of this new gesture support on older Linux®-enabled hardware. Building on the output of the synclient program, the Perl code presented here allows you to assign specific application functions to 'Three-Finger Swipe,' as well as open- and close-pinch gestures."
