[Bug 582809] Re: Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working

Hello, I am new here, but I want to share my experience with this kind
of issue. A week ago I bought brand new HP Probook 4530s. I removed SUSE
and installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal x86_64 64bit.

Scrolling with two fingers horizontal and vertical works.

Left and right click work, because it has two hardware buttons - see image ::

Also tap with two fingers activate the right menu. I do not know how to
perform a middle click. Clicking and dragging works.

But the enable/disable clickpad/touchpad with the tapping on the the top left corner where is LED is broken. I can't get it work. Only way to get it enable/disable is using the similiar script from ubuntu forums see here ::

The LED tapping in top left corner is also recognize via xinput test same as in this case ::

The main thread on forum closed to my problem is here ::

Please can you provide me with some helpful guide to make the LED
enable/disable button active?

Drivers for Synaptics Touchpad for Linux on official HP Driver site works only on SUSE Linux 11 but not for any other distro ::
