Sony Vaio Pro 13 & belly click

If you have a Vaio Pro 13 (maybe 11 as well), you might have noticed that you can click the touchpad from under the laptop because the chassis is super flexy.

When on the couch and typing this happens to me, my belly will literally click, which is annoying. I also dislike fully disabling the touchpad while typing (i only disable tap while typing).

I didnt find any solution to that so i patched the synaptics driver and packaged it. basically if a clickpad is detected it will only register physical clicks if a finger is also present on the touchpad... which is perfectly logical for clickpads anyway.

Hopefully this helps someone else too.
