That looks like event7 instead?

Anyway, please test with *evtest*, rather than with xev. To do so,
switch to a text VT (IOW: not from inside X), then run this as root:
  evtest /dev/input/event7

Then press buttons, and check whether LeftBtn and RightBtn appear. If
that's the case, bug in X/synaptics driver (and we'll try to
investigate further). If that's not the case, bug in the kernel (and
we'll reassign).
