Truly. You'll want the driver, then, not the package manager (although that's
fine, too).

My Thinkpad has three InputDevice sections: one for the keyboard, one for the
mouse, and another for the touchpad:

    Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver          "synaptics"
	Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
	Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
	Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
	Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
    EndSection

I don't have those configured, either, but they'd be used to tune the speed, I
think. My touchpad sensitivity was fine out of the box, though...
