I also have an n4030. The trackpad is recognized (incorrectly) as a PS2 mouse. There is no Trackpad tab in the mouse properties dialog. Trackpad specific features (scrolling) do not work. Finally, the mouse tends to fling the pointer around the screen and tap while typing (and since there is no Trackpad tab there is no way to disable the pad while typing).
I have been seeking either a remedy or a workaround for some time now. You can see the fruits (such as they are) of this adventure in these three threads. This first link is to my thread comment which contains some potentially useful output from the machine concerning the mouse/trackpad: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11807478&postcount=13 This one (also mine) has some output from a Win7 machine which may also be useful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1892135 This one (not mine) suggests a workaround which I do not know how to make work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682834 I will also post the files requested above in a separate comment. If anyone can help at least with a workaround that would be very useful.
