the best part of my macbook is scrolling on the mousepad with two fingers. both vertical and horizontal scrolling works. i find other computers (and git gui, which is the only app on my mac that doesn't handle mouse pad scroll touches) virtually unusable because i have to do something special to scroll. scrolling is key to internet browsing and coding.
so....can it rock scrolling without multitouch? i doubt it (since it would be confused with moving the mouse somewhere)
X11 supports that type of scrolling on my Eee running Arch (I don't remember if it was there by default or if I had to turn it on, though), albeit only vertically. Note that the Eee's trackpad doesn't have multitouch; thus, I see no reason that this couldn't manage it. Of course, I don't use it much, because the trackpad is a bit too small for it to be useful, but still.
