Hi,
Thanks for reply, meantime I found a Ubuntu bug where this problem is discussed
for many new HP machines.
If I well understood there is some kernel detection problem that should be fixed
in newer kernels.
People in this bug report say something about xorg-input drivers that should be
used in new kernels for the synaptics touchpad detection. I'll try their patches
then I let you know.
Here the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/582809
Cheers,
Louis

Hi,
Thank you for your reply!
please run evtest against the device to check if the information we get from
the kernel is correct. note that you need to VT switch away from the server
to get events out of the synaptics device
I just tried, first I killed Xorg then I run evtest /dev/input/mouse1
(touchpad), and I got:
evtest: can't get version: Inappropriate ioctl for device
You need to run it against the evdev device. It will be one of
/dev/input/event* nodes, and you can look at the symlinks in
/dev/input/by-{id,path} to determine which one. Or you can read
/proc/bus/input/devices to see which device it is.

You have a "clickpad" it only has one big button and the location of your finger
on the pad is used to determine which button is pressed. Clickpad support is not
yet built into xf86-input-synaptics as of version 1.3.
You need Takashi Iwai's clickpad patches.
