Comment 31 for bug 591656

I don't know if I'm understanding you well. But if I'm, that's how I felt was natural. I mean, when you slide past the right edge, is like staying on the border of the normal pad area, so it should keep processing the vertical slide.
Anyway, the two posible behaviors could be configured via a new variable handled from synclient. But that should be a design desicion from the mantainers of the driver.

About making this patch permanent part of the driver, sincerely it's my first patch commitment, so I have no idea how to do it. I was hoping that Hutterer saw the patch and do it himself. But yes, I would also like it, I would't want to apply it to every new version by myself.
