This bug also applies to the HP Mini 210-1010NR model.

Just to recap my own experience:

Out of the box, the actual "buttons" (which are physically part of the
pad area) don't work. To effectuate a click, one has to tap on the pad.
Right click is very hard, as one has to tap on the lower right corner of
the pad; it usually takes me a few tries. Two-fingered scrolling does
not work, but edge scrolling does.

This is my workaround: I discovered that by applying the following
settings via synclient, I can achieve two-fingered scrolling, and a two-
fingered tap will be interpreted as a right-click. (However, two-
fingered scrolling is still a disabled option in gnome-mouse-mouse-
properties.) This isn't a fix to this bug, but it might help people who
are having trouble.

This command will do it:

synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 VertTwoFingerScroll=1
EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5

By the way, what is the "correct" way to apply these settings
automatically at start up? Does one have to edit
/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/* or is there a per-user way of applying these
settings other than invoking synclient in .xinitrc? Any help would be
appreciated.
