Sure. Not today, though. All these features are configurable with the windows touchpad software. Assuming they map to visible config orders sent to the device upon init, I can reverse-engineer them and enable them from the driver.
I wonder, though, what is the usual choice done for touchpad hardware on linux. Are we _always_ enabling all features, or is there a mechanism to enable them just on demand ? I have seen no such thing in the sources (haven't searched much either). This sort of touchpad includes features which can be an annoyance for people not used to them, so the choice of enabling everything is not necessarily the right one. E.g. my touchpad seems to have pinch-to-zoom functionality (not even tried). I don't exactly know to what this would map under linux, nor whether this stands a chance of working in the first place, but I presume not everyone would love this feature.
