I have ported patches posted on the linux input mailing list to the current kernel version. This patches three files, hid-core, hid-ids, and hid-magicmouse. simply apply the patch to your kernel. Upon reboot make sure to modprobe hid-magicmouse, and have synaptics installed for x. This provides support for 1, 2 and 3 button clicks, 2 finger right click, and 2 finger scrolling (and anything else supported by synaptics). There is some talk on the mailing list that you could use ubuntus new gevdev to get some of the other gestures, but i have not explored that far yet. That however is in userspace and can be addressed at any point. Good luck to anyone using this.
The patch can be found at:

On which archlinux kernel patch is this patch based ?
Offline
This was based on 2.6.35.4-1, sorry it took so long to answer, for some reason I didn't get notified. I see no reason it would not work on any 2.6.35 source

Thank you for your patch, it's working. (no luck with utouch-grail/utouch-greis)
I have done a package based on original arch linux kernel, you can get it here : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42505
Edit :
I have removed this package, this patch have been included in 2.6.37 kernel.

This patch does not apply for 2.6.36 kernel, is there an updated patch somewhere ?
Doas anyone have a solution to make Magic trackpad work on Arch linux ?
evdev driver load but without multitouch support
synaptics driver fails to load
multitouch driver fails to load (http://bitmath.org/code/multitouch/)

The easiest way to enable Magic Trackpad on Archlinux is to use kernel >= 2.6.37 with synaptics driver.
Create a new xorg config file to force synaptics driver instead of evdev : /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-magictrackpad.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Magic Trackpad"
MatchUSBID "05ac:030e"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "True"
EndSectionOffline
it works!
