I scratched the Win7 and I use only FreeBSD on my laptops. So, I can't
say what Win apps could make use of this two finger gestures.

What I'm mostly interesting in, is use a two finger tip to act as the
middle mouse button. This is what I'm always missing while writing
stuff. I have now installed ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics
and the synaptics(4) man page explains nice things about all the
gestures stuff.

But, I can't get Xorg to work with this. On 'startx' X is coming up but
stucks in a screen having only the mouse as a 'x', I can't move the
pointer and not even go back to a console (in the 1st attempt I thought
that the laptop crashed, but in a 2nd I was connect by SSH and the
system is fine. Only ~/.xinitrc commands are not reached/excuted by the
'startx' command. I'm attaching the xorg.conf and the X-log, any ideas?

Btw: This is with
X.Org X Server 1.7.5
FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #1 r214444: Thu Oct 28 10:56:32 CEST 2010

Thanks
