    If you download the latest synaptics driver, there are tones of options for configuring tap zones.

    No problem :)

    One word of caution is that the newer drivers got rid of the middle-click feature (clicking both buttons at once = middle click). There is probably some way to remedy that, but I didn't find it right away so I reverted back to the Dell driver. Just thought I'd let you know.
