This is rather odd.. it seems to actually find my touchpad (which is good in some respects)..

$ sudo tpconfig -i
Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).
Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up.
Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second.
Corner taps disabled; no tap gestures.
Edge motion: none.
Z threshold: 6 of 7.
2 button mode; corner tap is right button click.

... however, as I stated previously.. using those options found in the news file didn't allow touch clicking, and my scroll is broken too (there's a designated area on the right of the touchpad for it). It seems to me, that while it is detecting it, it's not applying the proper driver for it. Strange thing is, I've never had this issue in any previous distro of Kubuntu.
