Multi-Touch

I installed Ubuntu 13.10, it supports default multi-touch perfectly!

I need Ubuntu 12.04, however, it does not appear to support multi-touch features.

I write a touch test program, it supports touch and mouseMove at the same time, but I just need touch function.

I know we can set the device to grab bits.

But how can I configure the system to support it?

It gives me an error when I try to use multi-touch.
