It sounds like they have something similar to a palm detect algorithm
that applies only to the bottom of the touchpad.

The other issue here is that this kernel driver is not only used for the
Macbook(Pro)5,x machines. It is also used for the MacbookPro4,1 (which
has an actual button). It might be an ugly way to do it, but we may need
to look at spiltting the driver functions based on the specific hardware
ID... Most of this doesn't apply to the MacBookPro4,1 and it may cause
issues there because something is now working better on the 5,x
machines. So, before commiting these patches, we need to make sure that
someone tests on MacBookPro4,1 hardware too.

Bug description:
This patch makes the click-and-drag work for MacBook(Pro) 5,1+ (the ones with a touchpad with integrated button). Two-finger-clicking is still functional with the patch. The behavior when clicking with two fingers on the touchpad should closely resemble that of OS X. Also attached is a deb package to test the patch.
