            Bug ID: 223369
           Summary: FreeBSD 12-CURRENT on HP EliteBook 1040 G1: ForcePad
                    registers click with two finger scrolling
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

I just got a HP EliteBook 1040 G1 and installed FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. Unlike
EliteBooks with a pointing stick (2570p/8470p/840/etc), the Synaptics were
detected out of the box. However, the 1040 G1 has a 'ForcePad', which instead
of clicking on the trackpad, you put pressure on it. However, if I try to do
two finger scrolling, sometimes I get a click, which gets annoying when
browsing websites.

Some research shows that Linux has fixed this problem in 2014. The URL for the
commit is:

I will attach a dmesg log shortly.
