Hello Anthony, On my (ubuntu Karmic@) z21-mn_b with AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint-device it doesn't give the information about pressure as presupposed in that mini-how-to you linked to - touching with two fingers the pressure value does not increase - so playing with values around 80, 85 or whatever you want will not bring the result needed for emulating two finger mode in that way.. I guess you will have to take an other device with a different chip-set or glide-sensor..
