Yes, you can use the touch screen like a HUGE 15 inch trackpad.
We used a modified VoodooPS2Controller from Acidanthera, and that is what enables the multigesture support. Nothing to do with Catalina itself. I think if you use that kext on an older version of Catalina it should work, although I am currently on beta 8.
Voodooi2C does not work out of the box, and since we got VoodooPS2Controller working, Voodooi2C is deprecated. You can read more in readme.MD.
Hope this answers your questions.
voodooi2c is not deprecated, it could be used to get more precise tracking/gestures via the SMbus port (acidanthera's vooodoops2 uses ps2 only which is not as good)
its worth doing, as mentioned before one would need to get the synaptics drivers to work like the elan ones do in this kext- https://github.com/leo-labs/VoodooSMBus
I have a T480 (different trackpad but same interfacing so behavior should translate to the x1 trackpad) and can help with this project . I also ordered a X1 extreme trackpad to see if I can fit it in the T480
could be better than the MacBook trackpad (too huge bleh) and finally bring hackintosh laptops into true 100% pro workstation realm
