I love my CTH-470 and I'm glad it's without having to spend hours in the terminal to get it working since I believe 12.10 (which I'm running now). But in the manual it states that you can swipe with three or even four fingers. However, I can't seem to find how to 'activate' this in Ubuntu. Is this even possible? If yes, how? And if no, are there any plans to support this in the future?

I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch CTH-460/K on Ubuntu 12.04. This also supports three and four finger touch (that's what the /K is for, apparently; under Windows I've tested this to be the case). Under Ubuntu, it does no more than 2 fingers. I see the following when running "dmesg | grep Wacom": input: Wacom BambooPT 2FG 4x5 Finger -- looks like the driver picks it up as a 2-finger touch (2FG) device. What does it say in your dmesg? – Charl Botha Feb 3 at 14:12
@CharlBotha It says 'input: Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.1/input/input5', though I don't think it would be physically possible one could use 16 fingers, so are you sure it expresses the amount of fingers it should/could support? By the way, it shows the same line twice, except for 'Finger', which is 'Pen' on the other line. – FMJansen Feb 6 at 20:40
