Hello Favux,

thanks for your extensive reply! Following your suggestion I edited 
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf in Ubuntu to change the 
following rule:

Section "InputClass"
     Identifier "Wacom class"
     MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM|Hanwang|PTK-540WL"
     MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
     Driver "wacom"
EndSection

to

Section "InputClass"
     Identifier "Wacom class"
     MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM|Hanwang|PTK-540WL"
     MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
     Driver "evdev"
EndSection

I confirmed in Xorg.0.log that the evdev driver recognized the wacom 
device as a touch device. However testing this config revealed (with 
xinput test-xi2 11) that the driver reports being capable of using two 
fingers only. With synaptics I had no luck whatsoever, it refused to 
load for the wacom finger device.
I attached the Xorg log with the evdev driver and the wacom driver for 
the sake of completeness ;-)

evdev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1402984/
wacom: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1402991/

Is it planned to add support for more fingers to the wacom driver? This 
notebook would totally kick ass with this enabled. I can do gestures 
with easystroke, but atm only with one finger at time.

Greetings
Max
