How to Enable Multitouch on Samsung Spica i5700

Samsung Spica users may have been happy since genius Gabriel-LG from samdroid.net made a patch to Spica’s kernel to enable multitouch support a week ago. The patch now is available in latest samdroid kitchen v2 (LK2.09.4) along with a patch for dark camera bug from antibyte. I’ve tested the latest samdroid kitchen with multitouch+camera fix patch, it works perfectly on Google Map, Gallery 3D and Browser. The camera dark problem also fixed.
There are several ways to install multitouch patch, but in this guide i’ll use patch that comes with latest samdroid kitchen v2 (kernel LK2.09.4). LK2.09.4 includes patches for multitouch from Gabriel-LG (v2b), camera bug fix from antibyte and new superuser 2.3.5.
How to install
