[Bug 462166] Re: Two-finger scrolling doesn't work on synaptics touchpad

[Magnus Kulke]

on my lenovo ideapad s10-3 running ubuntu 10.10 two finger scrolling did
not work, the option in gnome-mouse-properties is disabled (greyed out).
i installed the package "gpointing-device-settings", which allowed me to
activate two-finger scrolling. however after waking up from suspend
(don't know about reboot right now) it forgot the settings and used the
value defined in gnome-mouse-properties (probably because x is
reinitialized and it rereads the gnome-mouse-properties).

however using gconf-editor or

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/scroll_method 2
--type int

i could actually set the value to two finger scrolling (scroll_method=2)
and it keeps the setting after suspend. thus it seems to me that this is
a gui bug, where the gnome-mouse-properties gui does not detect the
capabilities of the touchpad correctly.
