When I move my finger around in and from the "middle" of the touchpad, 
the mouse cursor moves.

When I move my finger on the (user's) right side, the window scrolls. 
EdgeMotion would be tuning that behaviour.

I can also tap, for mouse-clicks.

I don't know what else works on mine, I need to read the man page at the 
laptop.

I have a high-end ThinkPad R40 (as evidenced by its fittings), and also 
has a three-button+joystick "ultranav" device.
