Ooops, sorry, I seem not to have read your mails correctly.

I didn't know before, but playing with the properties led me to
switching of the buttons (which I was personally looking for). But then
I tried a bit more and found this

xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Area" 0 3000 0 3000

That makes only the upper right rectable of my touchpad available for
moving the pointer. If I replace 3000 by 1, then I cannot move the
pointer anymore, but the buttons still work.

Hope that helps for your laptop as well.
