Public bug reported: On an up-to-date Saucy, I'm no longer able to "edge scroll".
There is a "Two fingers scroll" box in the Mouse & Touchpad panel. It is checked by default but it is also grayed out (since the hardware does not support multitouch), so I can't disable it. On Raring, the box is still grayed out but it is unchecked by default (edge scrolling was the default). My only solution on Saucy is to install dconf-editor and manually change the value of org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad.scroll-method. This is not user friendly. Two fingers scrolling is a sane default, but it should fallback to edge scrolling when the touchpad can't support it.
