2finger tap or corner tap only works for right click, and is useful to 
the point that you never miss right button again  (I've used 2 finger 
tap for years in a macbook laptop)

For click+drag, I've found only two usable solutions:
1.- modprobe psmouse proto=exps; (thanks @sauthess !). With this 
protocol touchpad has the expected behaviour in left and right click, 
but no more features, as multifinger detection, so forget 2finger and 
even right area scroll. Of course you can rmmod psmouse; modprobe 
psmouse; again to change the protocol, but having to change the module 
whenever you want to do click+drag or scroll seems not confortable for 
daily usage.
2.- Universal solution: I've put some layers of paper adhesive sticks 
(these typical circular sticks) covering a small area in the left corner 
of the pad (You have to put some layers in order the clickpad doesnt 
detect your finger) and you can click in this area and move the other 
finger. Using a pen to do the click also works.
