Thanks for your suggestion, I tried both the mev (with gpm) and xev (with X) programs
but I don't see no event at all for the upper scroll button on my touchpad.
I also forgot to mention that IMPS/2 does not work for me because when I try that and
move the pointer to the right half of the screen the arrow is always returning to the
bottom left corner and click events are triggered in a random-looking way making the
mouse impossible to use.
I guess this all means that the only use I can do of my touchpad is as a three button
mouse... too bad!

Hello, I have been googling quite a bit but I haven't found a way to enable the two additional buttons, the ones usually used for scrolling, like a mousewheel replacement, on my Acer Aspire 1312LC touchpad. After a few tries I fell back to a traditional XFree configuration, setting the protocol to PS/2 and keeping the ZAxisMapping line commented so at least the lower button works as a traditional copy-and-paste third mouse button, but to use both for scrolling would really help. I tried emerging and using tpconfig but it says it cannot find any synaptics device on my machine...
Any help really appreciated, thanks ciao

Use IMPS/2 for the protocol and add back in ZAxisMapping 4 5 just like
you would for a normal mouse and it should work.
At least it does on my HP laptop :)

My only other suggestion would be to try the xev program to see what
button number XFree sees those buttons as. You may need to change the
number of mouse buttons in your XF86Config in order to detect them.
I know my Intellimouse was like that, if I set it for 7 buttons (to use
the side buttons) my scroll wheel would disappear. The scroll wheel
would only work if I set it to 5 buttons.
