I just got a new Thinkpad E420s!
The touchpad is just one big touch pad. There are no seperate buttons for the touchpad. However, there are buttons bulit-into the touchpad at the bottom. How can I figure synaptic to support this kind of touchpad. When I click and hold the button (left) and try to drag it gives me a right menu.
I can still use the touchpad when above the buttons as long as I'm not pressing down. I think synaptics is registering a touch on the botton and a touch another part of the touchpad when I try to drag things.
I know this is a crappy description, but hopefully someone can help me.

Well I guess it is called a clickpad and there is a patch for the synaptic driver. Some nice lad created an aur package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38120
Edit: That package helps but I can't hold the mouse button down and drag something using the mouse. The mouse stay stationary when dragging.

Pffff *REVIVE*
This thread isn't solved and I have the same problem.
Does anyone have solution for clicking and dragging for clickpads?

i have an hp pavilion with a clickpad, and i have it set up so that when i tap it clicks, and when i double tap-drag, it's a click and drag. doesn't solve the problem, but i find it more natural to use this way.

I'm a terrible person. I've been using xf86-input-synaptic-clickpad, but the clicking and dragging doesn't work. However, in my case my touchpad isn't always detected by the kernel. Therefore, that is a bigger problem for me.
