The updated patch is below. -- DmitryShould I test this one or wait one more iteration to address Takashi's last comments?Actually I think we took the wrong direction with the original patch and we should do what other buttonless devices (bcm5974) do: report touchpad click as left button and have Synaptics X driver provide enhanced support. This way we can have both modes (ClickZones and ClickButtons) and users will get to chose (provided that someone takes time to add that support to Synaptics driver of course ;) ). Could you tell me if the below works for you?Left clicks work. Right/middle do not (as expected, I guess). I liked the behaviour of Takashi's patch a little better wrt what happens when you try to click/drag, because he disabled movement in the click area.
Are the clicks register only in that special area? Reading Synaptics product description it sounds like entire surface should be clickable.
My vodka consumption is minimal and I don't have the shakes, but I found it difficult to precisely hit the edge of a window and click / drag to resize...
