 works out of the box. You may want to configure your touchpad for X11. First you need to save a config file like this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-twofingerscroll.conf. This enables the synaptics driver for your touchpad. The options in this example also enable two-finger-scrolling and tap-to-click. You can use the 'synclient' with a running X-server to change Options in realtime.
