Same Problem with Lenovo 10-3 fixes tnx to Pauls instructions. Thank You Paul!
Again Pauls instructions modified for people who are not so familiar with working with the Terminal:

#$ My Comments
## It's possible to use dkms to build the psmouse module for the buttonless synaptics touchpad on some newer netbooks.
## First make sure dkms package is installed.
#$ To check, type:
dpkg --list | grep dkms
#$ If this does not give any result, type
sudo apt-get install dkms
## Next download this patched source archive for the psmouse module from kernel 2.6.35-22-generic on maverick. I just posted it to this bug, it's called: psmouse-2.6.35-22-generic-patched.tar.bz2
#$ Just to keep order make a directory somewhere, type
## This should install the psmouse.ko module in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/updates/dkms. Reboot to load it.
#$ --- !!! --- On my Lenovo, This was all I had to do to make the right an left mouseclick work again, which is all I need to be happy (I don´t need 2-fingers-whatever ...)
## If the mouse doesn't function properly, use this command to check if it's installed.

#$ To download, type
wget https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/+ bug/582809/ +attachment/ 1675262/ +files/ psmouse- 2.6.35- 22-generic- patched. tar.bz2
## In a terminal, unpack the source archive in /usr/src
#$ To do this, type
tar -xjf psmouse- 2.6.35- 22-generic- patched. tar.bz2 2.6.35- 22-generic /usr/src/
sudo cp -r psmouse-
## Next, in a terminal, enter these commands:
sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
## This should install the psmouse.ko module in /lib/modules/ <kernel version> /updates/ dkms. Reboot to load it.

## If the mouse doesn't function properly, use this command to check if it's installed.
sudo dkms status -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
## If it's not, then try rebuilding it with
sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
## Once a new kernel is issued with a fix, then you can remove it with:
sudo dkms uninstall -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
sudo dkms remove -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic --all
## I also believe that dkms will automatically build and install it on any kernel upgrade, but haven't tested that yet.
## After installing any kernel update, you can test with
sudo dkms status -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic
## and if it's not built, use the above commands to build and install it.
## Reboot to make it effective.
## For more info, see man dkms for the official documents.
