Subject: synaptics touchpad doesn't click

Hi Dmitry,

I just got a shiny new piece of hardware (HP Envy 15) with a
Synaptics touchpad, and I can't seem to make the touchpad work
correctly.  In this version of the touchpad, there are actually
two physical buttons underneath the pad. In essence, this is a
touchpad that you can click too.

I can't get the clicking to work. Of course, I can tap to click,
but lacking access to the physical buttons means that I can't
right-click.

Currently, I'm not sure if this is a driver issue or perhaps
something higher up the stack, perhaps in X or maybe pilot error.
;)

Distro is Ubuntu Karmic, kernel is latest upstream last pulled on
13 Dec.

Would like some pointers on how to get started debugging.

Thanks,
/ac
