Horizontal scrolling / change desktop OSX style

Ok so 2 things. Firstly I want to get horizontal scrolling. I already have Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf but it's not working and I don't see much info about this in the wiki. I'm using a thinkpad t430. I want the horizontal scrolling to change desktop like in OSX. So 3 fingers horizontal scroll would change the desktop. Is that even possible? Are there tools that can show like how many finger you have on the pad atm ?

Thanks

Re: Horizontal scrolling / change desktop OSX style

What desktop environment/Window Manager are you using?  Some of them muck with the Synaptics Xorg settings.
