to verify that you have one you can cat /proc/bus/input/devices, I have: ... I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 H: Handlers=mouse1 event2 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 0 670000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 ... also you need the psmouse driver loaded in order to correctly use a Synaptics Touchpad, dmesg tells me: ... Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 5.9 Sensor: 37 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 ... also, the synaptics driver version 0.12.5 you are using should support the middle button hth -- mattia :wq!
