that's because there's some new multitouch code that has been merged, you should be able to scroll with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad now, this became the default behaviour. To get back the old style, just add: Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf (or whatever it is called on your machine)
Weirdly, this wasn't the case on my desktop (x86_64 kernel w/nvidia driver). The edge scrolling works fine there, and it isn't explicitly turned on. On my netbook (i686 w/intel video driver) is where it doesn't work. I'll check the X configuration there when I get a chance, but I'm guessing this will probably be the case.
I guess it's because your other touchpad does not have the same capabilities.
