Find and compile a small utility called evtest:
http://linuxconsole.sourceforge.net/input/input.html
http://linuxconsole.cvs.sourceforge.net/linuxconsole/ruby/utils/evtest.c?view=log

Then try evtest /dev/input/event{your device number}

If it will report useful values, it is a problem of value scaling/click
threshold (I don't know, how it can be configured, but in worst case a
source code patch could help).

If it will not report useful values, it is a problem of kernel driver.
