The typical Linux GUI uses a pointing device with three buttons; the

What happens with a laptop that has only a touchpad but no buttons?
"Tapping" on the touchpad performs the MS Win 10 "button" functions,
but what about Linux use? Can one configure the touchpad so that a
specific set of regions work only for "tapping" and thus emulate a
button, and the rest works as a regular "glide" pointing device?
"synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2" sets up right-click
for a two-finger-tap and middle-click for a three-finger-tap.
I have a notebook with a similar problem:
[dg@localhost ~]$ synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
[dg@localhost ~]$
How does one obtain a drver?
