I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 and the touchpad works right using synaptics... except for multiple finger detection. From the wiki I can see that ALPS touchpads are not able to detect the number of fingers on the touchpad. How can I know if I have one of these touchpads?
Using synclient, when I touch with two fingers, only one is detected, albeit quite a wide one If it wouldn't be possible to detect the multifinger touch, could I use this "extra width" to emulate a middle mouse click?

You'll find out that with:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Good luck!

Hmm, so it should support multi-touch, shouldn't it?
BTW. I have seen that I also have a "Macintosh mouse button emulation". Any idea what that is?

davvll: Ive got the same thing on my Toshiba Satellite e105-s1402. Not sure what the Macintosh mouse button thing is. Might be for mice with only one button so ctrl+clicking is a right click. not sure though.

you can find out the firmware version by doing:
dmesg | grep Touchpad
