I've got an HP Pavilion 6, and have had luck patching the xf86-input- synaptics-1.3.0 driver. Anyone running Gentoo can use these <http://preview.tinyurl.com/4l69fe7> instructions, which worked out-of- the-box for me.
For everyone else, patching xf86-input-synaptics with the attached patch should fix things. I've had left, middle, and right click working flawlessly, as well as two-finger scrolling and (slightly dodgy) dragging. ** Patch added: "Patch for the X Synaptics driver (1.3)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/582809/+attachment/1904885/+files/xf86-input-synaptics-1.3.0-clickpad.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809 Title: Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
