Just installed 14.04. It seems to be converting all my screen touch gestures to mouse gestures. And it only supports one point touch. It is supposed to support ten touch points (tested with windows 8.1).
Am I missing something here? Do I have to install some kind of package? Or is it just not supported?

This is not a problem with "multitouch", it is a problem with "touch".
Before the 14.04 update, the touchscreen was interpreted as another mouse. After the update it is not, but unfortunately Chromium is not reporting touch-events. This means that no graphical web app can be used with Ubuntu on a touch screen.
I managed to make it work on my computer by starting Chromium with the command:
chromium-browser --touch-events=enabled
I just got myself a laptop with a touch screen and have been thinking the same thing. I haven't tried it myself yet,but I just found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch
Three fingers seems to be the answer, instead of two for zoom and stuff.
You might be able to use Ginn to setup your own multitouch actions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Ginn
In Firefox you can do this: https://support.mozilla.org/es/questions/1091627
Enter about:config and set the value of dom.w3c.touch_events.enabled to 1.
Now you can scroll.

Unfortunately, chromium is one of the few open source projects that come with this feature by default.
If you want to enable this support for all applications.
Use the window manager compiz.
However, Compiz does not come with the plugin, which supports the multi-touch screen capabilities.
This time, compile the plugin as per the guidelines of the site, depending on link below:
