Recently purchased a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad (PERIBOARD-716 mfg'd by Perixx). Touchpad has proper mouse functionality, but no touchpad-specific features are available (multi-finger scrolling, etc.). In fact, it appears that it's not even recognized by the kernel as a trackpad.
I'm reporting this bug as suggested at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc_do_not_work_at_all.
I suspect this may be a kernel issue (as cat /proc/bus/input/device yields nothing specific to the touchpad, and the Mouse control panel doesn't show a Trackpad tab), but am reporting it here as the wiki page suggested, as I'm not totally sure this is a kernel issue.
Although I'm running Lucid (lacks true multitouch support), I was hoping to use a workaround to at least get two finger scrolling. No dice, it seems.
Attached: output of
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
xinput --list
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Thx

The same problem in Linux Mint 13 MATE 32-bit. I'm not sure if this is a linux kernel issue, or a distro-specific issue.
Some development has been done to support this hardware, but I'm not savvy enough to understand what the status of the patch is, nor indeed how kernel patching works. A couple links including developer's contact info:
