A quick google image search showed that the X240 had 2 versions: one
with the top software buttons, one without.

And this definitively rings a bell. I am sure we asked Lenovo and
Synaptics to change the PnPID when they would do such a change, but
they "forgot" during the *40 series refresh.
We have code in place to fix the reported ranges of the coordinates,
and we had to check against the board id (see min_max_pnpid_table[] in
synaptics.c).
Unfortunately, X240 (LEN0035) is not part of this table, so I don't
know which refresh of the board ID has implemented the non top
software buttons.

Cheers,
Benjamin
