No problem, I just did that for you. See the attached patch. Seems to
work here, but I am not 100% sure, especially about the non-mt case.
It does prevent sudden pointer jumps to the bottom left corner of the
screen (survived a while round of the Harvest Honors game, something
that the original driver cound not do!), but I also get some click
attempts mistreated as right-clicks. Probably because there are in
fact some moments when the touchpad thinks that two fingers are on it.
