The device is an Alps GlidePoint which are usually INPUT_PROP_SEMI_MT. On
those devices, we don't support 3fg pinch gestures because we don't get
enough data to make the gestures reliable. There is no specific quirk for
your device otherwise, afaict.
If it's not semi-mt then it's too hard to say without more data, I'll need
at least the output from libinput record to figure out why (that recording
will contain the libinput version which also matters).
Cheers,
Peter
