This bug is annoying enough that I'm putting a new Dell XPS 14 on the shelf until its fixed, possibly even returning the thing if it gets close to the 30 day return limit. I'll stick with my clunky HP notebook with a working two button touchpad until it gets sorted out. I can try compiling from git, anyone have a howto on how to get it done, i'm not a serious developer and havent built a driver from git in forever. I also considered buying a new ultrabook with classic touchpad, there arent that many, and the ones that are out have other issues. Are there other clickpad ultrabooks that dont use synaptics that are functioning properly under Ununtu? (even if its 14.04 LTS)

Likewise it is also possible to use two finger scrolling with the index and middle finger on the upper part on the track pad while resting the thumb on the lower part of the trackpad. This behaviour is not currently supported with the synaptics driver in 12.04. It wil register a two finger scroll when the thumb is resting in the bottom part and index finger moves around in the upper part. I have tried playing aroud with the setting AreaBottomEdge that disables all motion on the bottom part of the touchpad. Unfortunately when this setting is enabled it still detects a finger in the area, so it wil register a two finger scroll like before.
