Here is an example of this not working. As you can see I am having
issues continuously dragging. once I get to the edge of the touchpad, I
need to let go and start dragging again.

On Mac OS X, I can continue to hold down the mouse and with the other
finger, continue dragging.

Bug description:
After installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a Mac Book Pro 7,1, I installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from ppa:mactel-support.

This driver doesn't allow continuous dragging. Continuous dragging is when you hold down the mouse button and with the other finger continue to drag. This doesn't work in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from the PPA (1.2.2-2ubuntu5-mactel1) resulting in limiting the amount of dragging a user can do. Users will need to drag with 1 finger with more acceleration to get a similar result.

In comparison, OS X does this properly.
