Thanks :-)

Do you actually have scroll buttons on your touchpad?  As in, some extra
buttons that don't appear to do anything?  Or are you trying the gesture bit,
tapping twice then holding?  I'm aware of the fact that the gesture isn't
working yet, and that there's some 'funny stuff' if you try to tap with more
than one finger.

Work on the gestures is ongoing and should be done Real Soon Now[tm].

If you have buttons that aren't working, it would be nice to know what psm
tells you when it's probing with a hint debug.psm.loglevel=2.  Particularly
the capa and info lines would be useful.

Thanks!
