Bug Description
Impact: edge scrolling can't be enabled on devices that don't support 2 fingers scrolling
Test case:
- use a device, with a touchpad that doens't support 2 fingers scrolling
- try to enable edge scrolling from the g-c-c UI
Regression potentiel:
- check that enable/disabling 2 fingers scrolling/edge scrolling keeps working fine on hardware supporting the option and on those that don't
-----
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.
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.
