Description

In mac os x touchpad drivers works perfect. You can scroling in two sides, press second button with macbook touchpad witch got only one key and touchpad with any special space for scroling. I want mac os like drivers to scroling with notebook touchpad - if it is posible.
Scroling in touchpad in osx looks like that:
you put two fingers on touchpad and slide they up or down.

Apple actually used to use synaptic sensors (and changed to their own in the late Powerbooks, the model where the touch pad was slow to respond).

This is plausible, and 2 finger scrolling is beneficial.

It's possible already:

Would need some more love to enable via gui though. (synclient might help with configuration)

ADD:
Option "TwoFingerScroll " "1"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"

To your inputdevice section section in xorg.conf,
ALSO: you might only need to add just the first line or just the last 2 lines or all 3 depending on your version of the touchpad drivers.
