These instructions assume that you are using up-to-date Lucid with a
Synaptic touch pad:

1. First make sure that you have a Synaptics touch pad. Execute the
command:

xinput list|grep Synaptics

You should see this (or something similar):

⎜    SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                 id=11   [slave  pointer
(2)]

2. Then execute the following command (all on one line) to temporarily
enable two-finger scrolling via multitouch emulation:

synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 VertTwoFingerScroll=1
EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5 JumpyCursorThreshold=200

If the above command produces an error, you don't have a compatible
touchpad. If it doesn't produce an error, but two-finger scroll doesn't
work either, try adjusting the value of EmulateTwoFingerMinW and
EmulateTwoFingerMinZ in the above command and executing it again. A
smaller value in EmulateTwoFingerMinW will accept a narrower touch to
activate scrolling.

3. To make changes permanent, follow the instructions in the attached
file.
