They are using them. Which problems do you expect? The "ClickFinger"

that's it.
Okay, so it sounds like the recommended solution is to use either:
a. synaptics(4) with ClickPad and soft-buttons or tapping, or
b. use wsmouse(4)
Did I understand that right? How do people produce right- or
middle-clicks with a) and tapping? (for trackpads that have no defined
soft-button areas)
And to configure b), I assume that's just another set of xorg.conf
configuration lines? or is there additional complexity I'm missing?
As to the default driver in wsmouse(4), it doesn't require any manual
configuration for clickpads, if you you are happy with soft-buttons (tapping
can be enabled).
That sounds good. But unlike some laptops, my clickpad doesn't have any
defined soft-button areas. Maybe there is a way to define them?
