It works on my T61 too.

Except when it starts randomly scrolling down five pages of text every
time you lift your fingers.

It's fixed upstream, but I haven't had the time to download and build a
newer version of synaptics.

I had a patch for the synaptics driver to disable the touchpad buttons
while keeping the scroll area buttons alive:
http://mg.pov.lt/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-0.14.6-touchpad-buttons-off.p=
atch

I sent it to the old synaptics maintainer, but never heard back.  It may
be time to dust it off and re-send it to the new maintainers.

No idea, sorry.  Try looking at the options in the synaptics(4) manual
page.  There are many of them.
