• Use this link it may work for you.
  http://digiwanderlust.blogspot.in/2008/06/do-you-love-way-you-scroll-on-your-ipod.html
  
• In my case "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file wasn't there.
• It's location is "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf"
• Follow the same instruction given in the link.

Or simply

1. gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
2. In the section where you find

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"

In the end of that section add

   
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "3"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"  //two finger scrolling ....
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"  // similar 
Option "PalmDetect" "on"

Save the file properly and restart .
Remember you need superuser privilages to make changes to file.

Hope it helps :)
