Bug Description
Issue: Using a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10, I discovered that the touchpad did not work.
Steps to reproduce: Install Ubuntu 14.10 on a Fujitsu H730 and attempt to use the touchpad.
Further description: Due to the comments in bug #1300427 I've tested the mainline kernel version 3.17-rc5-utopic, and the only impact I recall was how the right-click button now also worked while pressing middle-click on the touchpad.
WORKAROUND: Remove and load psmouse with proto=exps.
After this, a bit further in time, I accidentally managed to click with the touchpad. It appears that the touchpad strangely enough works quite well as long as I hold down the middle click button. While holding it down, the touchpad seems to work rather well - including multitouch features. The joy is short, as it registers no input while depressed.
