I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and for some reason I can't scroll with 2 fingers.

I don't have an option to add it in settings:

Settings dialog

I tried installing Synaptic Package Manager and using that to enable it but that didn't work.

The last method I tried was installing focaltech-dkms. I rebooted, but again, nothing changed.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focaltech-dkms
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

Here is my Xinput:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

How can I get it to work?

The answer is very simple. You installed a wrong Elantech driver first.

This can be fixed by running

sudo dkms remove psmouse/elantech-x551c --all
sudo apt-get install --reinstall focaltech-dkms
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
