Vladimir: Thanks for testing. Please report back the results from the
following to help debug your left-click issue.

Switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in. Run 'sudo
lsinput' and identify the touchpad device in the output, noting the
number of the input device, then run 'sudo input-events <device_number>'
(you need the input-utils package installed for lsinput and
input-events). Press the left button while input-events is running. Does
it produce any output?

If no output is produced, please additionally do the following. Run the
command 'echo 1 | sudo tee
/sys/module/psmouse/parameters/alps_dump_packets', then press and
release the left mouse button. Now run 'dmesg > dmesg-left-click.txt'
and attach dmesg-left-click.txt to this bug.

When you are done Ctrl-Alt-F7 will return you to your desktop.

Two-finger scroll and tap probably isn't supported for your model yet.
There's some work that needs to be done to get this working correctly
for some touchpads, but that work will be a follow-on to the current
effort.
