Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
This new type touchpad has a left click in the lower left corner and right click in the lower right. These worked on lucid, but on maverick, neither work. Even though the left /right click worked on lucid, there was another problem on lucid which occurred when attemption to select text. After pressing and activating the left click, any touch to the pad (to start selecting text) immediately would cause the mouse to jump off the nearest corner of the screen. Thus text selection is impossible in lucid. I have no way to test this in maverick, since the click capability is missing. On both lucid and maverick, tapping the pad will result in a left click, and bottom edge horizontal scrolling and right edge vertical scrolling works. Originally, I thought this was kernel related and filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/621821 , but was advised by upstream https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18122 that this touchpad is not supported upstream yet (legal issues). So, the patches that were provided in lucid need to be applied again in maverick.
