Always wanted this feature but it never works in ubuntu. Is there any hack/mod to get it to work? My laptop is an Acer 5532, and my touchpad is from Synaptics. The latest drivers from Synaptics made two-finger scolling possible with Windos 7, so I'm guessing there's some way to work in Ubuntu/Linux.

3What is the model of your touchpad? Or, at least, the model of your laptop?– SergeyNov 4, 2011 at 6:37

Did you try to change the settings of the mouse in the control center?
If it still does not work, run synclient -l in the terminal and provide us the results.

How do I post the info here. Text box won't allow me to post all the info.– rockr101Nov 4, 2011 at 19:23

So I guess you enabled the two finger scrolling as described in my first answer. As you cannot post the results of synclient -l try the following:
Open start up applications and add a new application and write the following command into the command line
xterm -e synclient "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=10"
this will change the most probably too high value in synclient.

welcome, I also like two finger scrolling. Look also for easystroke to widen the capabilities of your touchpad. I use it especially for navigating inside the browser, close apps and send my computer to sleep.– dagoNov 9, 2011 at 23:04

I tried it and found it to be very useful. THanks a lot. You've really helped me and probably many other users.– rockr101Nov 10, 2011 at 14:00
Touchpads explicitely need to support multi finger gestures. If you do not have such a touchpad, you are out of luck.
That's all to say without more information about your touchpad.
