Hi,

ForcePads are found on HP EliteBook 1040 laptops. They lack any kind of
physical buttons, instead they generate primary button click when user
presses somewhat hard on the surface of the touchpad. Unfortunately they
also report primary button click whenever there are 2 or more contacts
on the pad, messing up all multi-finger gestures (2-finger scrolling,
multi-finger tapping, etc). To cope with this behavior we introduce a
delay (currently 50 msecs) in reporting primary press in case more
contacts appear.

For now we are using DMI matching to detect ForcePads, hopefully we'll
be able to figure a better way down the road.
What about using the pnp-id, in my experience with the recent lenovo
laptops that tends to be more reliable.

Christopher, Andrew (added to the CC), can one of you tell us if there
is a capability bit to detect this, and if not can you perhaps provide
a list of pnp-ids of devices which behave like this ?

Moving this up means that on clickpads the button will no longer
be checked + set for hw->w == 2 packets. That seems like an unintended
side effect. If this is intended then this should probably be in its own
patch.

You're not setting a timer here, instead relying on there to be further events,
that is probably ok, but maybe put a comment to that extent here ?
