How my W540 touchpad currently behaves

This is a really late followup to bug 1241685.

I've attached two images, which show what the behavior of the W540 touchpad currently is, and what I expect it to be. libinput doesn't seem to expose enough xprops to configure the touchpad to do this.

gsetting set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'fingers'

should do the trick

Indeed, I have been running with that pref set for a few days and it's what I want. Could a quirk be added to the Lenovo touchpad so that it's automatically detected as a click pad?

Also, the touch zones on the top are still nearly impossible to hit.

it's already handled as a clickpad, here we're just talking about the default for software button behaviour.
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/clickpad_softbuttons.html
On the Lenovos we default to software button areas, partially because that is (was?) the windows default and partly because previous generations had visible markers to delineate the software buttons as well on the touchpad itself.
we expose the toggle to change the click method and gnome has the gsettings toggle, so we don't have any plans to switch the default at this point, sorry.

run the touchpad-edge-detector tool please and post its output here (dnf install libevdev-utils)
