Thank you very much, I always wondered why this was not supported in
FreeBSD. I also wonder if it will be tunable with the appropriate
GNOME/KDE (or just the synclient tool) settings to disable this
two-finger scroll at runtime.

I strongly suggest to enable this by default, it will prevent lot of
users having headaches seeking why their touchpads do not work by
default. We also added sound support by default, why not the touchpad ? :-).
