Not yet, scrolling is currently triggered through wheel button events
only.

as said above, it's missing from the driver, it's not your configuration
that's at fault here. It could be added though since all our scroll
emulation is a smooth scroll action.

the touch data is available from the driver but I can't recommend using it.
exporting raw touch data from non-touchscreen devices was a mistake. I've
since wound this back from the synaptics driver (no-one ever used it, afaik)
and while it makes more sense for a wacom tablet I think it's something we
should slate for removal.
