This issue has been kind of fixed upstream by a comment on a dependent bug, see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66532#c5
The patch makes it so that all touches within AreaBottomEdge are ignored, which makes the touchpad usable. I don't know when/if this patch will be merged but it is possible to apply the patch to the synaptics 1.7.1 driver and compile it. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #66532 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66532 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026046 Title: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1026046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
