Installation instructions clarifications: step 2- Adding driver to startup

[shacharoz]

RC.LOCAL
i have a missing file called rc.local (using Ubuntu MATE at the moment)

a search shows i have several of rc.local (in /snap/core/ .... several directories down)
i dont know what is the meaning of this regarding my system.
the two locations i think relevant for my system is /snap/core/current/etc/
and /snap/core/current/etc/init.d
the second file actually have some stuff written in it.

MODULES
i have this folder /etc/modules/ and in it i have a file that points to /etc/modules text file. it is empty now. what should i write there?
just "hid-multitouch"?
or do you mean i need to add a new file called "hid-multitouch" and write the next lines in it?

personally i prefer the rc.local method, since all commands an go there.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ARE ONE OF THE BEST I SAW FOR LINUX SO FAR. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER

a source you pointed to (https://www.chalk-elec.com/?p=2028)
says i should have a file hid-multitouch.c
i do not.

i do have this directory: /sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-multitouch/

what do i need to install for this?
