Public bug reported:

In mouse-touchpad-click.html we say "If your touchpad supports multi-
finger taps, ...". But does it or not? It's actually easy to determine a
touchpad's capabilities using xinput. I give a link below. Could we
document it briefly or give a link? Apparently the basics can be covered
in about ten lines. I did a quick internet search but the best link I
found was this one to the Arch Linux wiki (which I don't think we can
link to from the desktop help!).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Using_xinput_to_determine_touchpad_capabilities

PS. The xinput output for my touchpad is:

        Synaptics Capabilities (295):   1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1

so my touchpad does not support multi-finger taps.
