Title:
  Acer Aspire ES1-311-C9XM - Synaptics ClickPad soft buttons not
  configured out of the box

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Acer ES1-311-C9XM is equipped with a Synaptics 'ClickPad', i.e. a
  touchpad with integrated 'click' button.

  The default settings assume that the ClickPad is just a normal
  touchpad with a single hardware mouse button. Basic touchpad
  functionality is OK. Multitouch features such as two-finger-tap to
  right-click, and two-finger-swipe to scroll, do work.

  However, clicking and dragging with the hardware click button, and
  right-clicking with the hardware click button, do not work.

  `xinput --list` reports the touchpad as `SYN1B7F:01 06CB:2991
  UNKNOWN`.

  Tweaking settings using `synclient` can fix the problem. For example,
  to set up the bottom right-hand corner of the touchpad as the software
  right-click button, we can do the following at a command line:

  synclient ClickPad=1
  synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=610 RightButtonAreaRight=1175 RightButtonAreaTop=489 RightButtonAreaBottom=648

  (This configuration is not perfect, and does not persist between
  reboots - `xorg.conf` editing probably needed for that.)
