I'm using a dm3 which also uses the synaptics clickpad input. I've
applied pauls patch and I have to say it has improved things quite a
bit.

Its still flawed however. Namely the right click only applies to a very
small corner of the designated (as marked on the clickpad) right click
zone and if you have tap to click enabled tapping this area will
leftclick except for the very very very bottom most corner

This means that if I lets say right click on the desktop 9/10 I will
instantly create a new folder as this is read as a right click instantly
followed by a left click even though it is in fact just one right click

The strange thing is that 10.04 had much better behavior in this regard,
and that the implementation in openSUSE (which I use on another similar
laptop) trumps all. Would it be possible to see what the openSUSE guys
are doing and copy that here? On openSUSE right clicking is very
responsive has no conflicts with tap to click and the clickpad can be
turned on and off by tapping the dot on the top left corner as indicated
by the LED there.
