I recently got a Lenovo Ideapad Flex14 which has been quite a pain to set up just the way I want. This is my latest hurdle and I have spent most of the day trying to figure it out... but I haven't.
So... the laptop comes with a clickpad and a touchscreen. The clickpad I have determined to be an Elantech Touchpad after installing psmouse-elantech from AUR. Otherwise evdev detected it as a generic PS2 mouse.

As you can see it is detected as a mouse and not a touch(click)pad with no synaptics capabilities.

Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
And it seems to be using evdev drivers, completely ignoring synaptics

How can I set up edge-scrolling or two-finger scrolling and two-finger tap for right click on this hardware? Do I use evdev or synaptics? Should I force evdev to ignore the touchpad and let synaptics handle it? How do I go about all this? Thanks for the help in advance.
