How do I get two finger scrolling working on an Acer S3 Elantech Touchpad?
First off does the touch-pad support two finger scrolling? If so the result of synclient -l
would be nice to edit
add the output of the command synclient -l.

CircScrollTrigger = 0
CircularPad = 0
PalmDetect = 0
PalmMinWidth = 9
PalmMinZ = 199
CoastingSpeed = 20
CoastingFriction = 50
PressureMotionMinZ = 29
PressureMotionMaxZ = 159
PressureMotionMinFactor = 1
PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1
ResolutionDetect = 1
GrabEventDevice = 1

AreaLeftEdge = 0
AreaRightEdge = 0
AreaTopEdge = 0
AreaBottomEdge = 0
You can change the setting of the synclient by adding to the startup application a new application with the following command:
xterm -e synclient "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=10"
This would change the setting of EmulateTwoFingerMinZ to the value of 10

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on the Acer S3 ultrabook and I am trying to get the touchpad to work with two button scrolling. When I go to System Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad I don't see any touchpad preferences there, only basic mouse settings.
When I run xinput I get the following:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] PS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
Does anyone know how to get the touchpad working ?
