I find the original question a tad confusing, because it reads like the 
buttons don't give what the mouse is doing, yet it almost seems like the 
mouse is configured a certain way (which then suggests the trackpad needs 
similar configuration).

I got a USB keyboard a couple of months ago that has a trackpad at the 
bottom (and the ittle "joystick" gizmo in between keys) and I was really 
surprised that the minute I plugged it in that it worked (specifically 
with Slackware).  I had expected it to need some configuring.  The 
keyboard is really like a laptop keyboard in a case for the desktop.

Anyway, I just plugged it, and I seem to get the same results as with the 
mouse, the trackpad on this keyboard has two buttons at the bottom, and 3 
at the top.

Yes, fiddling I see no difference between the trackpad and the mouse.
