Hey, I looked at your changes and discovered that you did pretty much
the same thing as I did (a bit differently but the main algo is the
same), especially the left/right weightning part.
You did however implement smoothing directly in the driver while I
don't, and use the one already available in the synaptics driver.
The only problems remaining in my driver are related to the initial
warming of the touchpad (the first hour or so of use). The touchpad is
really unstable at that moment and needs a few resets until it reaches a
stable state. I suspect yours behaves the same...

See my driver for the suspend/resume methods you need to add in the usb
driver.

Fergot to say: I've added support for the 17" model using some
information kindly provided by Alex Harper (the developer of a well
known MacOS touchpad driver), but I don't have the hardware to test.
Even the USB id I've put in the driver for this model is fake.
