enclosed by the Left/Right/Top/BottomEdge parameters.
For circular touchpads.
+The LeftEdge, RightEdge, TopEdge and BottomEdge parameters are used to
+define the edge and corner areas of the touchpad. The parameters split
+the touchpad area in 9 pieces, like this:
+
+ LeftEdge RightEdge
+ v v
+ | | Physical top edge
+ 1 | 2 | 3
+ ------------------- TopEdge

+ 4 | 5 | 6

+ ------------------- BottomEdge
+ 7 | 8 | 9
+ | | Physical bottom edge

+ left edge right edge

+Coordinates to the left of LeftEdge are part of the left edge (areas
+1, 4 and 7), coordinates to the left of LeftEdge and above TopEdge
+(area 1) are part of the upper left corner, etc. A good way to find
+appropriate edge parameters is to enable the SHMConfig option and run
+"synclient -m 1" to see the x/y coordinates corresponding to different
+positions on the touchpad.

A tap event happens when the finger is touched and released in a time
interval shorter than MaxTapTime, and the touch and release
coordinates are less than MaxTapMove units apart. A "touch" event
