to verify that you have one you can cat /proc/bus/input/devices, I
have:
...
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 670000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003
...
also you need the psmouse driver loaded in order to correctly use a
Synaptics Touchpad, dmesg tells me:
...
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Firmware: 5.9
Sensor: 37
new absolute packet format
Touchpad has extended capability bits
-> multifinger detection
-> palm detection
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1
...
also, the synaptics driver version 0.12.5 you are using should support
the middle button
