Description darkxst 2013-05-01 12:27:13 UTC 
Apparently my laptop does not support two-finger scrolling. However the checkbox setting in gnome-control-center is on and disabled, so I can no turn it off, short of manually changing the setting with gsettings.

In addition, if your touchpad doesn't support two finger scrolling, you don't get edge scrolling until you manually set the scroll method:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad scroll-method edge-scrolling
Comment 2 darkxst 2013-05-01 13:22:21 UTC 
so I think in this case, we should actually change the gsetting value, rather than just make the checkbox insensitive!

gnome-mouse-properties.c:306

/* Disable two finger scrolling unless the hardware supports
                         * double touch */
                        if (!(data[3]))
                                gtk_widget_set_sensitive (WID ("two_finger_scroll_toggle"), FALSE);

Thank you for bug report. 

Changing gsettings value in gnome-mouse-properties is possible, however we should probably change this directly in g-s-d instead or do not enable two finger scrolling by default.
