--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Okay, so you're using the Synaptics driver.

I have bad news for you: The issue of unintentional two-finger scrolling is
unfortunately irresolvable with that driver. :( I spent months and months
researching it and applying patches and came to the conclusion that it was a
lost cause. So did the developers of the Synaptics driver, in fact, because
they created a new driver called Libinput that, among other things, was
specifically designed to address this issue. I've been following its
development closely and I'm happy to report that for me at least, it's finally
fixed with this patchset:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/merge_requests/247

Neither the Synaptics nor Libinput drivers readily support your request, so I'm
afraid your only option is to give Libinput a whirl and file bugs if it doesn't
behave how you want. The developer Peter Hutterer is quite pleasant and
responsive.
