Fix: Please include the following commit from mainline in Ubuntu kernel: From 5715fc764f7753d464dbe094b5ef9cffa6e479a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torok...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2014 13:51:06 -0700 Subject: Input: synaptics - add support for ForcePads ForcePads are found on HP EliteBook 1040 laptops. They lack any kind of physical buttons, instead they generate primary button click when user presses somewhat hard on the surface of the touchpad. Unfortunately they also report primary button click whenever there are 2 or more contacts on the pad, messing up all multi-finger gestures (2-finger scrolling, multi-finger tapping, etc). To cope with this behavior we introduce a delay (currently 50 msecs) in reporting primary press in case more contacts appear.
