I tried that:
[weerd@drop] $ doas wsconsctl mouse.tp.param=137:2000
mouse.tp.param -> 137:999
But I still can't tap.

No, but you helped me find something useful / interesting:
1. click button (keep depressed)
2. second finger doesn't do anything
however
1. touch 'second finger' first
2. click button (keep depressed); now the 2nd finger can drag (1st
finger doesn't work for dragging now)
This in addition to
1. click button (keep depressed)
2. move 1st finger around on small clickable area to drag
So, with this new approach, I have more surface area to drag around
and I can release my second finger to scroll beyond the end of the
touchpad. Never knew this was an option, I feel like an idiot now :)
Thanks!
Paul
