Can you provide more details on what you are attempting to accomplish? 
The only thing you can't do easily with semi-mt is:

* Rotations (but the hardware can't do it anyway, so this is moot)
* Pinch directions at 45 degree angles (i.e. (pinch up and left, down 
and right) or (pinch down and left, up and right))

You should be able to do everything else with semi-mt, such as pinch 
horizontally vs pinch vertically, movement, etc.

The pinch directions at 45 degree angles could be possible with the 
Cr-48 trackpad, but I would want to know that there's a real use case 
for it before undertaking an effort to support it.
