How can I get Ubuntu 18.10 to recognize my Touch Pad? Installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics as recommended other places did not help. It still treats it as a mouse, but not being an actual mouse, but being a touch pad, I can't middle click or simultaneously left and right click.

VirtualBox has limited direct access to hardware.
That is why your touchpad can't be managed by a full-feature driver with multitouch capabilities.
You need to install Ubuntu directly for a full-feature touchpad. But that doesn't guarantee that the specific touchpad is fully supported by Linux kernel.
