The following will add the these features to the touchpad
Features

• Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed.
• Button events through short touching of the touchpad.
• Double-Button events through double short touching of the
  touchpad.
• Dragging through short touching and holding down the finger on the
  touchpad.
• Middle and right button events on the upper and lower corner of
  the touchpad.

• Vertical scrolling (button four and five events) through moving
  the finger on the right side of the touchpad.

• The up/down button sends button four/five events.
• Horizontal scrolling (button six and seven events) through moving
  the finger on the lower side of the touchpad.
• The multi-buttons send button four/five events, and six/seven
  events for horizontal scrolling.
• Adjustable finger detection.
• Multifinger taps: two finger for middle button and three finger
  for right button events. (Needs hardware support. Not all models
  implement this feature.)
• Run-time configuration using shared memory. This means you can
  change parameter settings without restarting the X server.

I used [URL=http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/]Synaptics TouchPad driver for XOrg/XFree86[/URL]

1. need to have some settings on the kernel

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

2. set Event interface
   Device Drivers --->Input device support ---> <*> Event interface
3. compile the kernel
4. [url=http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/files/synaptics-0.14.3.tar.bz2]download the driver[/url]
   wget http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/files/synaptics-0.14.3.tar.bz2
5. decompress

tar xvjf synaptics-0.14.3.tar.bz2

6. compile and install

make && make install

7. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure you have:

Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "synaptics" #THIS LINE FOR THE TOUCHPAD DRIVER
Load "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection


8. add this
