I have the same Problem on My Uniwill 340S2, it uses a Synaptics touchpad
and I can unlock it by pressing the power-key.
There were some drivers (kernelpatch + config-utility) for the Synaptics
touch pad, but it havent been updated for some time:
http://compass.com/synaptics/
you might want to take a look.
