I applied xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu12.1_amd64.deb to my HP Pavilion dm3-3010us and the touchpad is actually usable now. Click+drag does not work, but that is overcome by double tap + drag. It seems like some work should be done by maintainers to work these changes into the repos.
