Well, according to http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad, it says the "TouchPad: buttons:" line in Xorg.0.log indicates whether or not the device is communicating that it supports multitouch.

In this case, the original reporter's Xorg.0.log shows:

(II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right middle

However, if it is recognized as a multitouch device it would show this:

(II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right middle double triple

So, this suggests to me that emulation *would* be needed.
