Ok -- it does say "Synaptics", but it has a USB interface, not a PS/2
interface:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=06cb Product=0003 Version=0011
N: Name="Synaptics Inc. Synaptics cPad"

I tried loading the psmouse driver anyway, but it made no difference. I
expected this, but I wasn't 100% certain, as the builtin mouse (touchpad)
does become available via the /dev/psaux device. I have to admit that
I don't entirely understand how this works, currently.
At any rate, in /var/log/messages, I find that the touchpad is indeed
handled by the USB mouse driver:
Mar 17 18:35:40 chipiona kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Synaptics Inc.
Synaptics cPad] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2

Well -- this is all that I really care for. Unfortunately, my hopes
to awaken the middle button to life are not too high, considering that
with all my messing around, I have never seen any data come out of any
device (/dev/psaux, /dev/input/event2 etc.) upon pressing the middle
button.
Perhaps, the USB mouse driver can somehow be told that the Synaptics cPad
is a three button mouse...? I'll have to search the docs on this, this
evening, I guess...
