Disable move in synaptics

[Vincent Bernat]

Hi!

I got a Carbon X1 which features a trackpoint and a clickpad. I am an
heavy user of the trackpoint. In previous models, it was possible to
scroll using the trackpoint and the middle button. Unfortunately, with a
clickpad, there is no physical buttons anymore and since the driver
managing the trackpoint and the one managing the clickpad are different,
it seems a bit difficult to implement properly.

As an alternative, I would like to configure the clickpad such that only
clicks and scrolling using two-finger scrolling are enabled. For clicks,
I use:

        # [    12.756] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: x-axis range 1472 - 5112 (res 42)
        # [    12.756] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: y-axis range 1408 - 3834 (res 42)
        # The following is 60% 0 0 0 40% 60% 0 0
        # The logic is explained here:
        #  http://who-t.blogspot.de/2013/12/lenovo-t440-touchpad-button.html
        xinput set-prop $device 'Synaptics Soft Button Areas' 3656 0 0 0 2928 3656 0 0
        xinput set-prop $device 'Synaptics Area' 1 1 1 1

However, I also lost the ability to use two-finger scroll.

Would it be possible to disable movement while keeping the two-finger
scroll? I don't care about the area used by soft buttons: I can restrict
them to the top area of the clickpad.

Thanks!
