+INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD:
+-----------------------
+Some laptops, most notably the Lenovo *40 series provide a trackstick
+device but do not have physical buttons associated with the trackstick
+device. Instead, the top area of the touchpad is marked to show
+visual/haptic areas for left, middle, right buttons intended to be used
+with the trackstick.

+If INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD is set, userspace should emulate buttons
+accordingly. This property does not affect kernel behavior.
+The kernel does not provide button emulation for such devices but treats

The guidelines below ensure proper single-touch and multi-finger functionality.
