Wait, you said there are "2 button clickpad"? If so the current way
the kernel handles clickpad is totally wrong:

    if (SYN_CAP_CLICKPAD(priv->ext_cap_0c)) {
        /* Clickpads report only left button */
        __clear_bit(BTN_RIGHT, dev->keybit);
        __clear_bit(BTN_MIDDLE, dev->keybit);
    }

It could only handle those "1 button clickpad", which emits solely
BTN_MIDDLE (and the kernel sends it out as BTN_LEFT instead). It can't
handle "2 button clickpad" correctly.

So I think the touchpad installed on the S10-3t is a "2 button
clickpad" and it emits BTN_LEFT and BTN_RIGHT as usual.

Also IIRC the current X synaptics driver detects clickpad by checking
whether it has one button only, obviously this could not work with 2
button clickpad either.
