thumb strokes on frame between touchpad and space bar generate events
See
for bug tracking this issue.
Here's the evidence. Hope this helps to better understand and fix the issue.
I would appreciate if others (especially those on Ubuntu 15.04 and XPS 13 9343) could provide a few output lines of their test results.
It does not happen right away, but moving or drumming the thumbs gently along the frame between space bar and touchpad should start generating events (moves and clicks) within a few seconds.
```
adrian@adrian-xps-13-9343:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DLL0665:01 06CB:76AD UNKNOWN id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]

Here's an update from
github.com/.../14
for this forum. Would still be thankful for feedback from other with the touchpad issue.
@advancingu do you get events listed when you are taping or dragging on the touchpad?
If not, you might have to use a different id (e.g. 14 instead of 12) in the
xinput --test IDcommand.During my original experiment I had psmouse blacklisted.
I have undone that and now I still see id 12, but 14 as well.
No events get listed for id 14, however, only for 12.
Here is my current setup.

Who would'a thunk, I found a solution:
Issue 14
I can now use tap to click to my advantage in Ubuntu 15.04, kernel 3.19.0.
Help this helps others,
