Arch Linux

Description:
There is no true multitouch on the synaptics driver for Linux.
The two-fingered scrolling works, but I am unable to touch one area of the pad and move the cursor with another finger. This makes dragging and dropping extremely difficult.
The HP site calls the clickpad/trackpad an "HP Imagepad with on/off button and precision multi-touch gesture support."

I was told that there was too little man power for anything to be done upstream. I am not a programmer. My most experience is installing and maintaining an arch linux installation and an intro to computer science course. So I'm really asking for the arch community to help me out here. Can anything be done? Thank you.
