hp 210 touchpad doesnt work

ok people! it's been a year that I'm looking for a solution to this problem. the touchpad on my HP 210 1030 not working fully. The only function it performs is the click of left button.

/* questions and answers that will not help me */
1 - ah but that's not enough? not
2 - you can not use an external mouse (PS / 2 or USB)? yes I can, but the touchpad is more feasible when I'm at work and college.
3 - why do not you sell this notebook and buy a real PC (desktop / notebook)? I bought it because it was necessary

sure, here's output of some of the steps I found in searches

egrep-i 'Synap | alps | ETPS' / proc / bus / input / devices

N: Name = "SynPS / 2 Synaptics TouchPad"

xinput list

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PIXART USB OPTICAL MOUSE                    id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                  id=12    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                   id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Webcam-50                                id=10    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=11    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys                              id=13    [slave  keyboard (3)]

now I'll post the two possible configurations for the file 10-synaptics.conf also found that the web

# The first conf
Section "InputClass"
      Identifier "touchpad catchall"
      Driver "synaptics"
      MatchIsTouchpad "on"
     MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
             Option "TapButton1" "1"
             Option "TapButton2" "2"
             Option "TapButton3" "3"
             Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
             Option "LBCornerButton" "2"
             Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
             Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
             Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
             Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
             Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
             Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
             Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "0"
EndSection

# The second conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "touchpad catchall"                      # required
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"                           # required
        Driver          "synaptics"                     # required
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option          "MinSpeed"              "0.5"
        Option          "MaxSpeed"              "1.0"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.075"
        Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option          "TapButton2"            "2"     # multitouch
        Option          "TapButton3"            "3"     # multitouch
        Option          "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "1"     # multitouch
        Option          "HorizTwoFingerScroll"  "1"     # multitouch
        Option          "VertEdgeScroll"        "1"
        Option          "CoastingSpeed"         "8"
        Option          "CornerCoasting"        "1"
EndSection

(I'm not using both at the same time. posted in the same area code to reduce the size of the post)

#The Second setting (I do not know how) made possible to use the event "Scroll up/down". Using a single finger through the middle of touchpad area, but on the question of clicks does not have the right click.

I saw some patches of correction indicating forums like this one,
http://getsatisfaction.com/jolicloud/to … ick-1m89q1
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1388164&page=2
but honestly ... I can not understand how I can get the drive installed on my netbook and can not make it work properly only by modifying the .conf file from xorg
