Any Multitouch > 2 fingers? What if I upgrade Display?

I just got my x220 on eBay and I'm playing around with it. The peripherals aren't what I thought they'd be. Track pad is really small, some other minor annoyances. I was a bit bummed out when I discovered that the multitouch display only supports two fingers at a time.

There's an android dev project going on right now called Bliss OS. It's an android ROM that runs nativly on x86/64 architecture. It runs android games very well compared to running it through an emulator. But I found it impossible to play some of my favorite games due to the mult-touch limitations.

I also booted it up in Windows 7 x64 bit SP1 with all the drivers installed. Again, two fingers work fine. When I did a test through a multi-touch webpage it seems to only register two fingers at a time. This indicates to me that this is more of a hardware limitation than software, since it's been tested on two touch-capable OS's.

If I were to buy into one of those 1080p display upgrades with the flashed IPS panels (which I've been considering anyway), would it be able to recognize more than 2 fingers?

No the X220T isn't going to recognize more than two fingers no matter what you do.

Now if you want to play your favorite games on a 12" display....just buy a 12" Android tablet.

yeah... but that costs more money
