That makes more sense. There was a workaround on some Dell machines to
enable the touchpad as an IMPS mouse which got it supporting a few
features like two-finger taps. bit I don't think this ever worked for
the v4 touchpads.
I'll change this back to confirmed, but I'm going to change the
importance to wishlist. When I find myself with some free time I'll try
to work on it, but I don't know when that will be.
I'm also going to update the title to something that will serve as more
of a catchall for semi-MT features for ALPS v4 touchpads.

** Summary changed:
- ALPS Touchpad is missing tapping right mouse clicks
+ ALPS driver lacks semi_MT support for "v4" touchpads
** Summary changed:
- ALPS driver lacks semi_MT support for "v4" touchpads
+ ALPS driver lacks semi-MT support for "v4" touchpads
** Description changed:
+ The "v4" ALPS hardware is capable of semi-MT support, which would enable
+ features like two-finger tapping and scrolling. The driver however lacks
+ the necessary support to enable these features for this generation of

The Sony Vario VGN-NR21E Notebook with ALPS Glide Touchpad is missing the
right mouse click when using two or three finger tapping in Precise Pangolin
12.04.

Any changes to synclient via TapButtonN=N seems to be ignored. When
tapping with two or three fingers no right click is generated. I tried
gpointing-device-settings but in vain. synclient -m 10 does not work
since SHMConfig is not activated and I couldn't find any information on
how to enable it without xorg.conf.
I'll be glad to do testing or provide additional information on demand.
