Description Christian Hergert 2013-08-14 02:05:35 UTC 
Many laptops in use still do not support two-finger-scroll. Especially in the ThinkPad line. If we can detect that the touchpad does not support two-finger-scroll, we should default to edge-scrolling in gnome-settings-daemon.

I have no idea how to detect this other than a quirks database, which would be really annoying.
