On my laptop, the touchpad drivers for it allowed me to emulate middle click by clicking both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time. I'd like to have the same feature on with my netbook's touchpad. How might I go about doing this?

I had the same problem. I've had my computer now for several years and all of a sudden the left mouse button and the ability to tap on the touch pad stopped.
My laptop is out of warranty and before buying a new one, i wanted to see if I could fix this.
I read hundreds of forums and they all said you are screwed. That you have to send it back. None actually posted a solution.
I took the entire computer apart and finally found the problem and here's the problem and the solution:
There are two ribbons that connect to your left mouse button and the tapping ability of the touchpad. The ribbons aren't that long, and with continued handling of the laptop and picking it up by the corner, you cause the laptop to flex, which in turn pulls on the two ribbons. Eventually the two ribbons will pop out of place.
As a result, the mouse pad can still move around, and the right moust button will still work, but nothing else.
Here's the solution:
Take off the cover to the hard drive and memory.
Depending on your computer, under one of the covers you will find the screw that holds the keyboard in. It is usually labeled with a picture of the keyboard.
Unscrew that screw and then open your laptop.
Take a small flat edge, guitar pick, or a credit card and pry the top of your keyboard up to release it from your laptop. The bottom of the keyboard will come unhooked.
There is a ribbon under your keyboard, go ahead and lift the black tab to pull the ribbon out and put the keyboard to the side. This will give you plenty of room for the repair needed.
Towards the bottom you will see two ribbons. These ribbons are the ones that have become disconnected.
Pull the black tab up on both of the ribbon slots, and then insert the ribbons all the way and then push the black tabs back down.
Reinstall the keyboard ribbon in the same way.
Push the keyboard back into position and then flip the computer over and put the screw back in that holds the keyboard.
Screw the covers back on the memory and hard drive and you are done.
Everything works now perfectly.
I just installed EasyMouse to solve this. http://eithermouse.com/ There was a good review at http://www.commonitman.com/2014/03/use-eithermouse-for-managing-multiple.html
