Title:
  scroll-method set to "two-finger-scrolling" by default, even if the
  hardware does not support it

  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Impact: edge scrolling can't be enabled on devices that don't support
  2 fingers scrolling

  Test case:
  - use a device, with a touchpad that doens't support 2 fingers scrolling
  - try to enable edge scrolling from the g-c-c UI

  Regression potentiel:
  - check that enable/disabling 2 fingers scrolling/edge scrolling keeps working fine on hardware supporting the option and on those that don't

  -----

  On an up-to-date Saucy, I'm no longer able to "edge scroll".

  There is a "Two fingers scroll" box in the Mouse & Touchpad panel. It
  is checked by default but it is also grayed out (since the hardware
  does not support multitouch), so I can't disable it.

  On Raring, the box is still grayed out but it is unchecked by default
  (edge scrolling was the default).

  My only solution on Saucy is to install dconf-editor and manually change the value of org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad.scroll-method.
  This is not user friendly.

  Two fingers scrolling is a sane default, but it should fallback to
  edge scrolling when the touchpad can't support it.
