Title:
  Elantech Touchpad, "AreaBottomEdge  =" parameter not work completly

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a laptop "Asus S65CM" with a large Elantech Touchpad. Please
  google it and see the touchpad.

  First problem: the touchpad is not automatically configured in a correct way. So I wrote a script to correct the parameters of "synclient" as enclosed.
  In this way, it work quite well but still a little but annoying bug.
  The parameter "AreaBottomEdge = 1800" is used to reducting the Area of sensibility of the Touchpad. This is true about the movements but it is not true about the "fingers counting". For example, if I let one my finger in the area of the left button, which is suppose to be a death-area, outside "AreaBottom", it suppose to not be considered. But actually if I put also a finger to move the curson in "central" zone the touchpad recognize it as TwoFingers, so is blocking the cursor.
  If think internally is a problem of "button counting" which is performed before than the AreaBottom constrain.

  Parameter settings:
      LeftEdge                = 129
      RightEdge               = 3120
