If the trackpad is handled by the ubcmtp(4) driver but isn't recognized
as clickpad, configure a bottom area (see wsmouse(4), wsconsctl(8), and
wsconsctl.conf(5)):
# wsconsctl mouse.tp.edges=0,5,10,5
This command defines a bottom area of 10% of the touchpad height.
"Thumb contacts" in this area will be ignored.
(It won't work if you have an Xorg.conf that enables the synaptics(4)
driver.)
