[Eric Williams <894071@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

## Issue

- mouse pointer doesn't move with two fingers pressed (although right-
click is registered)

- cannot right-click 'n' drag with two-finger mouse button 2 emulation

- can't access context menus with right-click drag because mouse pointer
doesn't move

## Environment

- bcm5974-based touchpad

- Unity, Window Maker, and Xfce are all affected

## Further information

Attached is the syslog after enabling debugging in the bcm5974 driver,
and two-finger pressing and moving the two fingers around on the
trackpad.  Notice that the driver registered movement (Y: and X: values
change with n:2, or two fingers down), but the pointer was not moving on
the screen.

Steps used:

sudo echo -n 9 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
sudo logger begin two-finger test
[move fingers around with two-fingers pressed]
sudo logger end two-finger test
