With the 1.1.1 version installed on my HP Pavilion dv7, the two fingered
scroll is now available and works like a charm!  The right-button patch
from bug #582809 doesn't appear to be compatible, but I haven't tried
installing the right button patch first and then this package. I do not
have a working right button.  Jumpiness appears to be gone as well,
though if both palms rub the touchpad while typing it does scroll.  The
sensitivity seems to be better as well.

I need to play with the settings (xinput list-props 'SynPS/2 Synaptics
TouchPad') to see if there is some improvement to be had, but generally
this works great.

One other item: I do not have click and drag.  I can double-tap (e.g. on
a window title bar) and drag it around, but I cannot click the left
button with one finger and drag around with the other.  I am sure I will
find a combo of settings that works well, though.

The missing items are worth it to be able to type without the cursor
jumping around! (Though with current settings it still picks up a palm
as a click and moves the cursor occasionally.)

To others reading: if you try this it is helpful to post your results,
including your laptop model info, so that fellow trackpad sufferers
googling for an answer can find this bug.

Great work...thanks, Henrik!
