This is actually a kernel bug. The dell mini netbooks have a special
synaptics trackpad that has semi-multitouch capabilities on top of a
pair of integrated buttons. Linux 2.6.38 adds support for the semi-
multitouch feature.

Before the addition of the multitouch feature, the bottom 1/3 of the
trackpad was disabled in the X synaptics driver. Now, we've got touch
functionality in the kernel that probably will need to be masked out in
the driver. I had been looking into this a few months ago, but I gave
the work up to focus on other parts of the stack. I probably should take
another look at it now.
