Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.2.1-1

Hardware: Dell XPS M1330

Problem: The synaptics touchpad is ignored, as it seems. I just get 2 mouse
buttons and basic "mouse" functionality, even though it appears in the
(attached) X log file. The scroll regions at the right or lower edge are not
recognized, nor does tapping work. Emulate3Buttons works.

The xorg.conf file has been wiped out to make sure its not a configuration
issue. There is no private udev rules file or hal config file, either.
KDE or Gnome are not used, just plain X plus fvwm2 manually started on the
console.

"xinput list" shows

â¡ Virtual core pointer                         id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
â   â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer               id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
â   â³ "Broadcom Corp"                          id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]

⣠Virtual core keyboard                        id=3    [master keyboard (2)]

    â³ "Sleep Button"                           id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    â³ "Broadcom Corp"                          id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    â³ "Laptop Integrated Webcam"               id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    â³ "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"           id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    â³ "ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device"           id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    â³ "Dell WMI hotkeys"                       id=15   [slave  keyboard (3)]


On another famous Debian-based Linux distro (current 10.04) it works out
of the box.

yeah, well... the NOTES section also mentions how the default
configuration is set up based on hardware capabilities. i.e.:

"If the kernel reports multi-finger detection, two-finger vertical
scrolling is enabled, horizontal two-finger  scrolling  is  disabled
and edge  scrolling is disabled. If no multi-finger capabilities are
reported, edge scrolling is enabled for both horizontal and vertical
scrolling."

your hardware reports this:
(II) "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad": buttons: left right middle double triple

and in fact the configuration reported by synclient is:
    VertEdgeScroll          = 0
    HorizEdgeScroll         = 0
    ...
    VertTwoFingerScroll     = 1
    HorizTwoFingerScroll    = 0
    ...
    TapButton1              = 0
    TapButton2              = 0
    TapButton3              = 0

so it should be just a matter of setting reasonable *Edge values (not
needed in most cases as the kernel will report the touchpad geometry
and the driver will calculate appropiate values for the edges) and
enabling the features in your configuration.

Ubuntu includes patches[1] to enable all the features above, it's been
discussed multiple time and the same patches will not be included in the
Debian package.
