Comment 6 for bug 543119

According to Lenovo's website (consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers_Show_4482.html), in Windows the SlideNav depends on the Synaptics driver. This makes me think that the SlideNav manufacturer is Synaptics. It is also called slidebar in many hardware manuals from Lenovo.

In addition, my slidenav it's not detected as a keyboard but in /proc/bus/input/devices I have a "PS/2 Generic Mouse" even when there's no PS/2 connector in my notebook. Since Synaptics touchpads are also PS/2, I'm guessing that the slidenav is detected as that extra mouse because that's the generic catch-all.

If this is right, we should file a feature request in the bugzilla for xorg-input-synaptic (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=xorg&component=Input%2Fsynaptics) instead of the linux-kernel.

I attached details of the hardware.
