Thread: Can't click-and-drag on Clickpad, and occasional freezes (Sentelic)

i have sentelic clickpad (no pysical buttons, i.e. macbook style). uses synclient. have upgraded kernel 3.5.4-030504-generic on ubuntu 12.04. side or two-finger scrolling works. doesn't work clicking 1 finger , motion action finger, clicking window , dragging 1 commonly on touchpad. touchpad becomes unresponsive, can last couple minutes before randomly starts functioning again.

have tried changing synclient clickpad=1 , various other synclient settings no avail. paste xinput , synclient output below. or hints appreciated. thanks!
