Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Touchpad of netbook HP Mini 210-100SA is recognised by Natty as a mouse.

 Same issue was also experienced in the past with the same machine
running Lucid and Maverick as well.

After a fresh install, touchpad functionality is limited (no "click and drag" nor "right button click" ). This issue can be partially solved by pasting the following command on a terminal:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo su
echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe
reboot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, although the "right button click" and "click and drag issues" are solved, the touchpad still recognised by the system as a mouse, and as a consequence of this it's not possible to take advantage of important functionalities such as "scrolling" "multi-touch gestures" and (for me the most important) "disable touchpad while typing".

After performing some tests listed in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection , I've got the
following results:

Researching Ubuntu Forums for a solution, I discovered that a user who
experienced similar issue in Ubuntu Edgy was successful in manually
fixing that problem (
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-309389.html ), however I
couldn't repeat his success due to both lack of knowledge and difference
of configuration from Edgy to Natty.
