No, there's no patch for X to support multi touch but there's something more interesting: mpX - The multi pointer X server. You can see it at: http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/
ah yes, the DS.
now that that, make both screens touch sensitive, expand them to fill the size of the device, and make the user able to hold it portrait style to read ebooks and similar.
thats what i would call a sweet device.
only thing missing then is that one can turn one screen around so that one can use it without opening the device itself.
hear that nokia, thats the design for your next N8xx!

the reactable, vertical multi-touch and microsoft surface is more or less the same tech.
hell, the reactable and surface could be said to be clones, as im sure that one could turn a surface into a reactable with the right software installed.
btw, that reactable is damn fun to watch in action.
and i could probably see the future computer be two lcd screens wired together so that one have a nice angle to act as keyboard or other inputs when needed, and the other is normally vertical but can also be angled for input if thats needed.
makes those insane multiscreen layouts that hollywood is so in love with seem much less insane.
hell, isnt there patches out for xorg to support multi-touch?
hmm, maybe i should play around with some setup...
