There is no true multitouch on the synaptics driver for Linux.
The two-fingered scrolling works, but I am unable to touch one area of the pad
and move the cursor with another finger. This makes dragging and dropping
extremely difficult.
The HP site calls the clickpad/trackpad an HP Imagepad with on/off button and
precision multi-touch gesture support.
I am running Arch Linux x64 with xf86-input-synaptics 1.6.2
Here is my laptop:

ok, so the clickpad is recognised but re-reading your initial comment I
think you're just trying to do something that's not implemented.
Dragdrop works if you press the physical button and use the second
finger to move, you can do tap-and-drag as well, but tapping with one
finger and moving with the other is simply not implemented (yet).

That's what I thought. Thank you for looking into this.
Is there any timeframe for when this will be implemented?

not really, sorry. unlikely to be implemented, unless you do it
yourself.

lack of manpower. that's pretty much it. also, I suspect this feature is
rather difficult to implement given the hardware data we get and the
state of the driver in general. So getting this right on all touchpads
is hard, and not breaking any other features will require extensive
testing.

I notice that when I uninstall xf86-input-synaptics, I get my desired actions.
However, this is not because of multitouch, because that still lacks when there
is no driver.
When no driver is loaded, the bottom part of my clickpad is not detected as a
touch area. It is still detected as clickable, but not for touch. This way, it
acts as a traditional touchpad with physical buttons.
This is how my clickpad acts on windows 7.

The touch is my clickpad. The bottom is a popular clickpad used by HP laptops.
For my clickpad specifically, I want the bottom part to not be touch-detected.
Is there a way to detect these areas out-of-the-box using the synaptics driver?
Is there some configuration to achieve this?
