...except for the multitouch features? It's not that impressive that it supports the standard bluetooth mouse features like pointing clicking.

If the scroll feature works, wouldn't that indicate that multitouch is enabled and functional? Am I misreading it?

If it is the case, I probably will pick up a magic mouse for my Ubuntu box.

-edit- The scroll function only requires one finger to move on the mouse; my mistake.

The scroll action works fine. It appears that Maverick includes changes to XOrg that allow multitouch (which was the reason none of those features worked for previous Ubuntu versions).

TL/DR: Zoom/Multitouch may work. Scrolling definitely does. The normal mouse functions have always worked.
