How I got multitouch working with qt5 and ubuntu 12.10 on a Acer Netbook (Aspire 1825PTZ):

1. Installed qt5-sdk-rc1 from http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/rc2/qt-linux-opensource-5.0.0-rc2-x86-offline.run
2. git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5
3. cd qt5/qtbase/src/platformsupport/input/evdevtouch/
4. edit evdevtouch.pri, uncomment DEFINES += USE_MTDEV
5. compile qt5 according to instructions in http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
6. Installation/replace current libs:

• cd ~/Qt5.0.0-rc1/5.0.0-rc1/gcc
• mv lib lib.no_mtdev
• ln -s ~/qt5/qtbase/lib/
