Input device name: "cyttsp"

    Event code 330 (Touch)
    Event code 333 (Tool Doubletap)
    Event code 334 (Tool Tripletap)

It claims to support "Tool Tripletap" (three fingers touching). However, while trying to cause that even, I could only create "Touch", "Toolfinger", and "Tool Doubletap" events -- no "Tool Tripletap":
Code:
Event: time 1353077577.779067, type 1 (Key), code 330 (Touch), value 0
Event: time 1353077577.779069, type 1 (Key), code 325 (ToolFinger), value 0
Event: time 1353077577.779070, type 1 (Key), code 333 (Tool Doubletap), value 0
I tried this on my K5 too:
Code:
]# evtest -i event3
Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x0 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0
Input device name: "zforce"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 0 (Reserved)
    Event code 1 (Esc)
    Event code 325 (ToolFinger)
    Event code 330 (Touch)
    Event code 333 (Tool Doubletap)
    Event code 334 (Tool Tripletap)
  Event type 3 (Absolute)
    Event code 0 (X)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 1 (Y)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 47 (MT Slot)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max        1
    Event code 53 (MT X)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 54 (MT Y)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 57 (MT Tracking ID)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max      255

Surprisingly (or not), the K5 ALSO claims to support "Tool Tripletap", even though the Z-Force IR touchscreen is specified as only having 2-touch support.

Because the K5 and PW share a common 5.x code base, perhaps the PW touchscreen code is bound to the "lowest common denominator", and limited to the lesser K5 2-touch support (even if the capacitive touchscreen could support more simultaneous touch points).
