Multi-Finger Clicking (Like OSX)

Someone in the Apple Intel Ubuntu Support Forum has made the needed changes to the synaptics driver to enable the “touch two fingers to the touchpad and click for right-click” type of functionality as is found in Apple’s OSX. This was a highly sought-after feature that the synaptics driver was missing. Work is still being done on the driver, but it looks very promising. Check it out and contribute if you like:
