I’ve just installed ubuntu 14.04 on my new Razer blade, but I just can't use the srolling with the touchpad, and there is no other options on the Mouse&Touchpad setting interface, I wanna use two-finger scrolling on it, just like it was on my old Thikpad. So what should I do to fix it? Anyone could help me? Thank you.!

Unfortunately, not all touchpads support that feature. I have an HP like that, and when I'm out in the field I just have to edge scroll, and I hate it. When I get home I plug in my Logitech K400r wireless keyboard and TWO-FINGER trackpad in one, and an external monitor, and suddenly I get two finger scrolling.

When my Logitech keyboard is plugged in, the 2 finger scrolling is not greyed out. When I'm using the HP without the Logitech, the 2 finger scrolling is greyed out.

Until this happened to me, I never realized that not all trackpads are alike. Now that I know the difference, I would never buy another laptop again without checking first.

I had the same problem. Install touchegg, it works fine for me now. Try this.

Newer kerenls have the fix already. If it isn't an issue you can install a newer kerenl.

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0-vivid/

Download the generic amd64.deb files and the all.deb file.

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

in the directory where they are downloaded. Then edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add hid_rmi to the end of the file. Finally run update-initramfs. Something like

sudo echo "hid_rmi" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo update-initramfs -u

Now restart.
