I also see laptops with the edge of their touchpad configured to act as a scroll wheel, that's a third button. Are you sure? I've worked with a few such models, and yes, touchpad was able to emulate scroll well (in fact you can pick if you want edge scroll or two-finger scroll), but it was not able to emulate third button. What kind of driver do you need to enable this functionality?

with at least a couple brands of laptops it didn't require any special driver. The system apparently saw it the same as a mouse wheel on a normal mouse. this wasn't just a matter of 'use the edge' there was actually a ridge separating the 'wheel' portion from the main portion, and tapping on the wheel portion clicked the third button.

Any Synaptics touchpad can be configured to emulate middle-click if you click on a special zone.
