[Bug 809120] Re: Synaptics touchpad toggle area and LED doesn't work

 

** Description changed:

  Many of the modern HP laptops have new Synaptics touchpad with soft toggling area on the top left corner (instead of hadrware button) and the LED near it.
  The synaptics driver doesn't have the option to handle that and the kernel cannot control this LED.
  Here is the solution:
