sends two 6 byte packets. The first packet contains data for the first finger,
the second packet has data for the second finger. So for two finger touch a
total of 12 bytes are sent.

+7.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
+Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
+complex.
+
+Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
+status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
+head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
+position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
+two fingers' position delta.
+
+For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
+can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
+the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
+position, until we receive a status packet.
+
+One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
+one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.
