Yeah, it is pretty strange. Though I think we may find this useful in
the future. Each time you use the touch pad, it reports button 5 events.
I suspect that when you use two fingers (not supported by my model) it
returns a different button, though I can't confirm.

I see there's also another small issue with my touch pad. For some
reason X11 doesn't process any click events if I don't move the pointer
after I've clicked/released the button. I'll investigate.
