Synaptics for razer blade (14") touch pad

Hi,
     I'm trying to get synaptics driver working on my razer blade.

> synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

This is the output from xinput list

> xinput list
_ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
_   _ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
_   _ Razer Razer Blade                         id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
_   _ Razer Razer Blade                         id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
_   _ Razer Razer Blade                         id=14   [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)]
    _ Power Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    _ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=15   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    _ Razer Razer Blade                         id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    _ HD WebCam                                 id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    _ Video Bus                                 id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    _ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]

Here is what I want to acheive:

1. The touchpad activates when I'm typing.It  is hurting my productivity and is very annoying . So disable trackpad when typing.
2. [optionally] Natural scrolling, pinch to zoom and other gestures

Have you tried the Synaptics patch from this site?
http://fxchip.net/RazerBlade/

Maybe it can work for the Razer Blade 14", im not sure.

Thanks for the reply. It is not clear where the patch should be applied. Will be greatful if you can provide some pointers. On how to apply and install the patch.

Here is some more info. The trackpad seems to be recognized as a mouse

> dmesg | grep -i mouse
[    0.434859] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[    0.846989] hid-generic 0003:1532:011D.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Razer Razer Blade] on usb-0000:00:14.0-5/input3
