Agreed, the new kernel resolves the issue. Thanks, as well.

All multitouch capabilities are broken (right-click, scroll, gestures, etc.). I would expect that the touchpad would function as a normal fully- functional touchpad, instead the touchpad functionality is limited to mouse-movement and left-clicking. The 2013 MacBook Air laptops have a new hardware touchpad device (05ac:0291) which is not compatible with the 'bcm5974' multitouch driver. As a result, the generic 'usbhid' is being associated with the device (evident in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/), which has the effect of the touchpad being registered as a 'Pointer' rather than a 'Touchpad' in X. As a result, it is assigned the generic evdev X mouse driver rather than the synaptics X driver. I have been able to 'force' the touchpad to be associated with the 'bcm5974' kernel driver (via sysfs), however, the driver fails to communicate with the hardware and no mouse functionality is available. In this case the bcm5974 reports 'could not read from device' in dmesg.
