Please - it's a one-line patch that can definitely be applied since there
wasn't ever any Apple with more than one mouse button, much less with a
trackpad sporting multiple buttons. Did I forget to mention there wasn't
any use of ADB outside of Apple hardware?

Kudos to Alex Clausen for this (and Alex, I don't think there's rocket
science involved, just crappy hardware).

Good point. Disabling dri doesn't make it worse but I'll have to watch it
for a while yet. I'll keep you posted.
