This still seems to be a problem. I just acquired an Asus UL30A-A2. The touchpad tab does not show up under System - Preferences - Mouse. I've tried various tools such as synclient (tells me SHMConfig not enabled, and many, many tried with fdi files later, still says so), also touchfreeze, gpointing-device-settings. Also gconf-editor, where I turn off tap-to-click in desktop - gnome - peripherals - touchpad, but still have tapping available, and of course all the nuisance of typing like a ballerina on points.
