Could you attach evemu-record to touchpad`s device file
(/dev/input/eventXXX on Linux) to examine type of input events?

receiving of REL_* events means hardware processing of "two-finger
scrolling"
receiving of ABS_* events means software processing of "two-finger
scrolling"

That can be used as starting point for further investigation.
