Touchegg with SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad and Linux Mint 14 KDE #190

Hi
First, sorry for my bad english... ;)
I have an ASUS 1215B netbook with Linux Mint 14 KDE x64 with a SynPS/2 
Synaptics touchpad (xinput shows that it supports up to three fingers)
I'd want to change desktop with three finger drag and zoom firefox/okular's 
pages with two finger pinch.
After some trouble (utouch package isn't available in the repos), I have 
compiled touchegg on my netbook and I started it, but i get only this

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading 
configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
Reading config from  "/home/nicola/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf" 
Try to make a multitouch gesture. If everything goes well the information about 
the gesture must appear 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Flick 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Drag 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Pinch 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Rotate 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Tap 
[+] Avaliable gesture: 
         Name ->  Touch 

without detecting any gestures...
I have already launched these commands
  synclient TapButton2=0
  synclient TapButton3=0
  synclient ClickFinger2=0
  synclient ClickFinger3=0
  synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
  synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0
but nothing changed. If i change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf the synaptics driver to 
evdev, my cursor stops responding but in touchegg two-finger drags and taps 
(not pinches, rotations...) are recognized. What can I try now?
Thanks for the help!

If no gestures are recognized, probably it is because your hardware is not 
supported... Anyway you can try to ask about the support in the uTouch aunchpad 
page:

I had the same problem at first, and got it sorted by installing 
xf86-input-synaptics-mtpatch
