I can use my touchpad with my thumb, but not with my short finger. It is as if the area of contact between the fingers and the pad required to register movement/click is too large. How do I fix this?
Output of xinput shows three pointer devices:

. You can find out which is the touchpad by tryingxinput disable 11
