I am trying to get multitouch to work on my touchpad. I am currently trying to run a script to get it to work. It is set to start on boot, saved as .run and has been made executable.

here is the code:

#!/bin/bash
#enable multitouch

sleep 10
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 8  1 1

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger  Pressure" 32 10

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger  Width" 32 8

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Edge Scrolling" 8 0 0 0

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Jumpy Cursor Threshold" 32 110

synclient TapButton2=2

exit

the commands make multi touch work if I enter them in the terminal, but the script itself does not work. any suggestions?
