(Get the code!)
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!
