For the record: 'twas a bug in the driver, which the latest update fixed. ClickPad must also be set to "1".

Is your trackpad like this? With or without those lines.

Yup, albeit on a mac.

Do you have xf86-input-synaptics-clickpad intalled?

No, I was using xf86-input-synaptics. Using -clickpad made no difference in behaviour.


(Sorry if I'm being particularly dense. Maybe I should just build an
old version from source.)
If you are using the ..-clickpad pkg you can get old version from the general
AUR git clone. Or from my own git of my PKGBUILDS
https://gitorious.org/huulivoide-aur

Hmmm. Thanks for the pointer.

This functionality isn't so bad (apparently, I almost never use right click anyway) - I think I'll just live with it until I have time to dive into the source to change the behaviour to what I want (possibly submitting a patch to make it configurable).

Thanks for the help.
