Just confirming that this is still a problem for me on Lucid (no
multi-touch whatever I do). At least now though,
gnome-mouse-properties has "2 finger scroll" greyed out. When I called
up gsynaptics, it had "Enable Touchpad" unchecked and checking it and
closing gsynaptics had no observable effects.

I believe the synaptics driver has software emulation of multi touch
(for single touch devices), for some reason it isn't working on
certain pads. This is probably not because they were never supported,
because it seems that some people had it working on earlier versions
of Ubuntu.
