Actually, you can read gestures from the Xorg file in /var/log, but that only works if you do not pause cvm and Xorg.

And there was a multi-touch bug fix added to the (non-amazon) linux multitouch source trunk recently, so amazon may eventually get that fix into their code.

The problem is that your fingers cast shadows creating all four corners when two fingers are on the display, and the code must track them using VELOCITY history to prevent this problem, but they only use POSITION tracking...

So... with Xorg and cvm paused, there really is not a simpler way to read gestures other than to include gesture recognition in your own code (or use a linked or loadable library to supply it).
