Try installing touchegg: https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/Downloads?tm=2

It's not maintained, but it's worth a try.

You should install the Synaptics touchpad from the software centre. It give you a lot of options graphically for configuring your touchpad.

Also you could check this out: How can I setup my touchpad multi-finger tapping functionality?

and the oficial Synaptics documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad

Reinstall the Touchpad driver:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Then reboot.
