Hi,
on my Vaio z11-mn, it does.
I didn't directly succeed with making double-finger scroll happen
since the w value was always to 0 whereas sinclient -l had a
doublefinger minw to 7 ... which I had to correct to 0 to make
double-finger scroll working.
The french thread about it was at :

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..

Works much more smoothly on the Nvidia Card too...
Does anyone know if Multi-Finger gestures are supportable on the Vaio
Z touchpad?
Thanks,
Anthony

Hello everyone,
Before using my Vaio on Linux, I was using a Mac running OS X.
A feature that I really missed was the two-finger horiz/vert
scroll that Macs come enabled with in OS X. I have figured
out a rather hackish way to get this far to enable it on my
Vaio Z520N.
1) copy the shmconfig.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
2) cd into /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/
3) backup existing 11-x11-synaptics.fdi
4) copy in the updated one I've provided
In order to tweak the settings, from a terminal you should
run
$ synclient -m 10
and pay attention to the z axis when using two fingers, the
value it outputs can be edited in the 11-x11-synaptics.fdi
file to your liking
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateTwoFingerMinZ"
type="string">100</merge>
...My value is at 80 or 85 (still playing with it)

*The interesting Source: will help with future hacks and
adjustments to my trackpad

I believe there are still a couple of issues however...
My main question is, now my touchpad doesn't seem to work from
login screen, not a huge deal, but could anyone give me some
advice? Im running Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28-15 generic.
Also, I will have to add more parameters to get a more
functional trackpad with the precision the Mac has.
Many people just carry a bluetooth or mini-usb mouse. I for
one really do like to utilize my trackpad, and these
instructions have helped quite a bit...
Hope someone else finds them helpful
-Anthony
