Comment 5 for bug 748622

Honestly, at this point, I don't know for sure what type of touchpad this
is. The machine thinks it is a PS/2 wheel mouse. Tpconfig says it's
synaptics. If anything, at this time, there is too much information about
this subject all over the LINUX landscape. is there any definitive webpage
where someone can figure out what hardware they have and what, if anything,
can be done about it?
Thanks for your patience!
