Bug Description

Hello

I'm trying out Natty and realized that the touchpad is not detected by the kernel. I have tapping & tap-dragging available but that's it. Under windows the touchpad is has multi-touch functionality and I am missing edge-scrolling a lot as well as upper-right-corner-tap-middle-click.

I just went through this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection and came to the conclusion it must be a kernel bug then since there is no mention of a touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices nor xinput --list -- just "Ps/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" is detected.

Sadly evtest is not in the live image and I'm a bit layz to install it.... (enabling universe repo et al.)

Tell me what information you really need and I'll provide it.

Besides: It's a SAMSUNG SF510 Laptop (Manufactured February 2011)

Regards
