Touchpad doesn't work on touchscreen laptop

Hello everyone!

Installed Arch on my new laptop Samsung NP540U3C (Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook). It has touch screen (yep, not my preference), and there comes my first issue.

Everything went well and everything just works on command line, but... when I start any X program, X doesn't allow me to use touchpad. Touchscreen and external USB mice instead do work perfectly.

Although I like to use touchpad and external mouse, still while the touchscreen is there, I'd wish to be able to use it in addition to touchpad.

I would owe a great deal to anyone who points me to right direction!
