Only 2 finger tap+scrolling working synaptics touchpad
I am running a clean 32 bit install of Natty 11.04 (I reinstalled to 32 bit as I had same problem on 64 bit and hoped 32 might not suffer) but can only get 2 finger scrolling, horizontal and vertical to work in terms of multitouch. I know for a fact that my synaptics touchpad supports AT LEAST 3 fingers as I have 3 finger taps and flicks working in windows 7. I have attemped to install a package of "supplementary multitouch support for synaptics touchpads" (intended for 10.10) but it gave errors on installing (somewhat unsuprisingly). I have installed touchegg but clearly the issue lies with the driver as even with this I am unable to use anything with more than 2 fingers (2 finger tap for right click also works). My computer is a Dell Studio 1558.
Using hwinfo --mouse --short I can verify that the kernel is recognizing the touchpad as SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad.

Is this likely something fixable now/is it being worked on/is it simply not going to happen?
If there's any more information you need I'd be happy to provide
Many Thanks
