If the touchpad is in TOUCHPAD_OFF mode, allow physical clicks
Enabling clicks in off mode also allows for the new Lenovo *40 series to use the top software buttons while the touchpad is disabled. This benefits those that usually disable touchpads altogether but still need the buttons for the trackstick. This changes existing behaviour, but TouchpadOff was always intended to stop erroneous events while typing. Physical button presses are hard to trigger accidentally. On the touchpads that TouchpadOff concept was originally designed for the buttons are nowhere near the keyboard and are physically separated from the touchpad anyway. On Clickpads, triggering a physical click requires more force than accidentally touching the surface. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76156 Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
