Actually, the new synaptics driver can emulate two-finger scrolling on
non-multitouch pads - something about detecting the width of the "touch"
and using that. It works quite well, actually.
So even though your pad may not be hardware multitouch capable, the
driver actually *does* support it.
Free upgrade! You're welcome! :D
