Description Peter Hutterer 2010-01-12 23:30:10 UTC 
Single-button touchpads as shipped with older Apple laptops can set the left-handed setting. This sets the single button to be the equivalent of a right mouse click which is of arguable value. It'd probably be better to skip the left-handed setting for this type of touchpad.

Related to Bug 606793. If single button touchpads can disable tapping and then set to left-handed, the user is left with a touchpad that cannot re-enable the tap setting. (A workaround for that is to switch back to right-handed since this radio button also takes right mouse clicks)
