[Bug 516329] Re: TouchPad buttons don't work on HP Mini 210 (1030NR)

[Gabriel Bauman]

The Synaptics touchpad in question is a new model, known as a
"clickpad". It actually has a single physical button underneath the
bottom edge of the touchpad, and the driver is supposed to determine
whether the click is "left" or "right" by looking at finger position on
the pad.

It's important to realize that the "workaround" that people are using
basically makes the pad appear as a PS/2 mouse to the kernel. This means
no edge or two-finger scrolling, and the touchpad will stay active when
typing. Not optimal.

There are two patches in development. One is to the Synaptics X driver;
the other is to the kernel. BOTH of the patches will be necessary to get
the proper behaviour. Read the mailing list thread posted by Paul for
details.

Both the Ubuntu X team and the Kernel team will need to collaborate on a
fix. Getting late for Lucid now.
