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.
Not sure. So far I only know of HP 1040 having it. FWIW:

dtor@dtor-glaptop:~$ cat /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/i8042\ aux/00\:07/id
SYN300d
SYN0100
SYN0002
PNP0f13

I think if we see generalities we can switch over later. I hope
Chris/Andrew will come with a capability bit though :)
The ForcePad capabilities bit is 1 << 15.
Awesome, thanks!

Then I guess the patch below is what we'll be needing for these devices.

Thanks.
