I have the same issue, on Ubuntu 10.10 with an HP touchsmart tm2t-2100 and before seeing this bug report tried installing xf86-input- synaptics-1.3.0, with no resolution.
This laptop has a somewhat unusual touchpad / mousing surface. It has two buttons which are also integrated into the touch pad, so any touch input on the buttons is also considered touch input. Furthermore the touchpad actually has button switches underneath the touchpad, so you can explicitly trigger a button push by 'clicking' appropriately. But regardless of which button is 'clicked' the X driver always records it as a left button push. So there are two issues here, IMHO - Regardless of which button you push (they are both mechanical and produce an audible click) the 'synclient -m 1' shows it as a left button click - A touch pad based click on the right button has a coordinate problem and only registers a right click at the very furthest extremes of the touchpad, rendering it nearly useless. Both of these problems make 'right-clicking' nearly impossible. And render middle mouse button clicks completely impossible.
