Hmm, it seems to work properly, I think it is now a setup issue to a
certain degree. The touchpad now works in native mode (as opposed to
Intellimouse emulation) and so I'd recommend installing Synaptics X
driver from http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/

Just to verify, could you please locate evtest utility and check
whether your up and down buttons generate BTN_FORWARD and BTN_BACK
events?
