The other day I had an idea to turn my laptop touchpad into a multi touch trackpad, so I looked online, and I found this resource (This would be for Linux) and I decided I'd give it a try.

Now when I updated my touchpad driver, I could only change the settings for the left, and right buttons, when you head here you'll notice that, that user see's Synaptics Touchpad in enabled, well I saw "Wheel Mouse" and I'm guessing cause unlike other touchpads I have a middle mouse button on mine where I can scroll up/down/left/right, however I was wondering how can I make my touchpad into a multi touch trackpad.

Not all trackpads will support this, it depends on the drivers available and the model you are using. Your manufacutrer will probably know best.
