Seth Forshee is actively developing a kernel patch that fixes this issue on my dm1z (and apparently also numerous other laptops that have the same ALPS touchpad). Using the dkms deb package he has provided in bug 550625, two-finger scrolling and edge scrolling both work on my dm1z, as does the feature to disable the touchpad while typing.
