I have, and the problem is somewhat more complicated when dealing with
multiple fingers. The simple patch shown about actually works very well
in practice. However, things can always improve. Yesterday I sent a
second patch, bcm5974-0.63, which addressed this issue. However, the
quality of the mouse movement has regressed a little in that patch.
I would like to send yet another patch today, bcm5974-0.64, I hope this
does not cause too much confusion.

Regarding mousedev, I noticed that the tap functionality does not distinguish
between a tap (on/off localized in time and space) and a quick drag (on/off
localized in time only).
