Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I'm running Karmic Alpha 4 + updates as of 30 Aug 2009.  On my Acer
Aspire One 531h netbook I can enable edge-scrolling, but two-finger
scrolling does not work at all.  When two-finger scrolling is set in the
Mouse Preferences dialog edge scrolling is disabled and attempting to
scroll with two fingers just moves the mouse cursor.  The gconf setting
is getting set correctly, but the setting seems to have no effect.  Or
rather just doesn't work.

Enable edge scrolling:
-----------------------------
1.  System -> Preferences -> Mouse
2.  Click on the "Touchpad" tab
3.  Set "Scrolling" to "Edge scrolling"

$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/scroll_method
1

Scrolling works just fine in Firefox.


Enable two-finger scrolling:
-----------------------------------
1.  System -> Preferences -> Mouse
2.  Click on the "Touchpad" tab
3.  Set "Scrolling" to "Two-finger scrolling"

$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/scroll_method
2

Neither edge nor two-finger scrolling works in Firefox.
