Hello,

I encountered a strange issue with the touchpad.
It works on Linux but it's a little bit different on how it works on Windows.

Let me explain with an example (I hope the drawing below won't lose the
formatting):

------------------------------------------
|                                        |
|                                        |
|                                        |
|                   A                   |
|                                        |
|                                        |
|_______________________|
|                   |                    |
|        B         |        C         |
|___________|___________|

The scheme above represents the touchpad.
A is the area where you put the finger to move the mouse pointer, B and C
the left and right buttons.

I've noticed in Linux that if I swipe the finger even on B and C
zones, the pointer
continues to move. So it is like if the A+B+C area would be good to
move the pointer.
this doesn't happen on Windows.

How is it possible to have the same behaviour on Linux?
I use Gentoo Linux kernel 3.2.6 + x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics.

Regards,
