The Ubuntu phone does not use the GEIS API nor does it support X.  It uses the Android/Linux evdev interface exclusively
for input.

As for the Synaptics driver, it is usually configured by default to not act as a proper (XI2-style) multi-touch device
and will do gesture recognition internally and report as additional button events.  You may want to reconfigure X to use
the evdev driver for the device instead.
