Bug Description

I have provided the hal fdi file for multi finger scrolling. It was working until the Alpha 3 release of the Karmic.

Now the scrolling does not seems to be working.

Following are the information, any further information required can be provided.

Running Ubuntu Karmic since Alpha 2.
HP 6910p Laptop

I checked through the synclient -m and can see that it is detecting multiple fingers (5 column with number 3)
