synaptic touchpad has stopped letting me two finger scroll

[v1nsai]

I've been using two finger scrollling for a while now and I've really gotten used to it, but suddenly it has stopped working in both Ubuntu karmic and Fedora constantine. I'm really hoping this is a GNOME issue and not my mouse going out The option for two finger scroll is even grayed-out in fedora under Preferences > Mouse > Toucpad, but in ubuntu I can still select it.

Can anyone recommend anything or at least confirm they have a similar problem and that my mouse isn't going out This laptop is way too new for that kind of junk to be happening yet.

Same problem with fc12 at HP 6930p model
It was working with fc11

I found this when I was googling around, it has some good info about synaptic touchpads, and the script that he provides fixes the problem for me.

What did you find?

Oops, guess thats what happens when you post at 130 am. Here's what I was talking about http://blog.twinapex.fi/2009/10/11/s...005ha-netbook/

The script near the bottom fixed things for me, I guess some other settings needed to be tweaked after an update.
