Hi,
All the people I've talked to about it seem to prefer the multi-finger scrolling with horizontal scrolling disabled. Being an OS of reasonable defaults, we might want to make these settings the default.
I always try to keep my fingers on the keyboard, use the trackpoint as mouse and only use the touchpad with one thumb for scrolling. So two finger scrolling is not really an option for me. I admit that this is not the usual use case of a touchpad... Regards, Clemens
