Hi, I've tried, with a simplified version, and it works!
Basically, I track both coordinates independently, as the rectangle
coordinates are independent anyway. Then I associate to position[0]
always the closest coordinates compared to the previous frame.
It works pretty fine. At least it avoid the jump between one and two
fingers. Of course, when the two fingers become horizontally or
vertically aligned (eg: in a rotation gesture), it's not possible to
differentiate anymore when they dis-align. And I don't think using motion
will help because the hardware tends to report _exactly_ the same value
as soon the two fingers become close (= a segment instead of a
rectangle). Or motion tracking would require a long window of past
frames.
I still think that for the very specific use case of scrolling when
pressing one finger and moving up and dow the other one, reporting the
average works better than the first finger. However, I guess this can be
considered just as a drawback of the ST protocol, and fixed in userspace
by using the MT protocol.
What do you think? Does it look fine to you? Below is the code.

The elantech hardware is limited when reporting two fingers. It just
reports the minimum and maximum coordinates of the rectangle containing
the fingers.
As multitouch protocol requires at least to report the correct position
of each finger, we track the finger position when there is only one
finger to distinguish which corner of the rectangle corresponds to the
actual position of the fingers. When there are three fingers, only the
minimum position is reported, so we just don't track it and hope the
last tracked position has the most likelihood to be correct.
It works fine, at least as long as the two fingers don't get
horizontally or vertically aligned, after what it's back to random.
This also allows to avoid so "jumps" in the single-touch protocol.
