 Hi,

 I recently changed my laptop at work for a Lenovo T440. Pretty good machine
 except the crappy touchpad. Lenovo has managed to totally fuck the
 trackpoint while making the touchpad a nightmare.

 I tried to tweak the X configuration to make it somewhat usable. My
 configuration follows.

 Is someone willing to share his configuration ? Do you managed to totally
 disable the touchpad to simulate the old trackpad behavior?

For the record, a reader kindly points me to his configuration that
manage to restore the original behavior:

Hope this will help other users.

It seems that the synaptics driver supports multiple touch zones
configuration with SoftButtonAreas properties. But it doesn't seem to
work with our driver.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section InputClass
Identifier T440 TouchPad
MatchDriver synaptics
Option HorizHysteresis 150
Option VertHysteresis 150
Option LTCornerButton 2
Option LBCornerButton 2
Option RTCornerBurron 3
Option RBCornerButton 3
Option PalmDetect 1
EndSection
