I'm trying to use Ubuntu 16.04 on a Toshiba Tecra A40 (ALPS touchpad) and I'm facing the following problem:
When using the two finger scrolling function, the context menu (i.e.: right click) is also activated continuously until I "untouch" the touchpad.
This means that it is almost impossible to scroll a web page (for example) without opening multiple new tabs...
I've already tryed Ubuntu 14.04, 16.10 and the version I wanted which is 16.04 LTS.
It is curious that before installing, the live version (right from the USB image) the problem does not exist. But after the installation process this issue arises on every version I tried.
Can anyone give me some pointers about what can I do to track the problem and possibly solve it?
Thank you.

And the details about the specific device ID, which I think it is the "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" (device ID = 11)

The problem is that when I put two fingers on the TouchPad, it reacts as a "tap" and detects a right-click. This makes the two-finger scroll unusable on whatever the application I use (any browser, LibreOffice, etc.)
Any help would be more than welcome.
Thanks
