No touchpad-tab showing up in the mouse settings

I've bought a touchpad for my desktop, because I prefer using it instead of a mouse for some tasks.
Unfortunately, the touchpad doesn't work like the one built into my laptop (there is no edge scrolling and it has some gestures like a pinch-zoom that interfere with normal usage).
While trying to turn off these settings and turn on edge scrolling, I noticed that there is no touchpad-tab in the mouse settings that would allow me to change these touchpad-specific options.
I've tried 16.04, 18.04, Xubuntu, MATE and vanilla and none offer any settings. Is it possible that Ubuntu or Linux doesn't recognise my device as a touchpad? xinput list displays the touchpad as HID 1ddd:2819 and not as PS/2 synaptics touchpad somethingsomething or similar.
Is there a way to either:
- Tell Ubuntu that device
HID 1ddd:2819is a touchpad and it should apply the synaptics/libinput settings to it? - Still change some settings like the two-finger/edge scrolling, because it generally works, except for some preferences I can't change easily?
