Hello!
As I said, customizing the MaxSpeed/MinSpeed/AccelFactor helps (I
discovered this by reading the synaptics manual page) so this README
certainly gives a working config.
Oh, actually it seems they are affected by this same bug(?) but never
reported here (who knows about upstream...).

Indeed !
I CC fabbione that he can explain what Ubuntu has decided to do for this
bug.
I am already subscribed to the launchpad bug and debian-x. There is no need to
CC me.
IMO it can't ... the driver should auto-detect the kind of Touchpad and
adjust the default values of the resolution stuff so that it works out of
the box on *any* hardware.
The touchpad information are stored in /sys/class/input and it is theoretically
possible to gather them and create a table to identify what touchpad needs what.
The major issue that we did encounter across time is that there is no winner.
No matter what config you ship, synaptic breaks for one person or another.
I agree with you tho that upstream could start investigating the option to
create default settings on input ID base. that will take anyway quite sometime
to stabilize in the code.
For 0.14.3 that we are shipping in dapper, I will either add a big fat readme or
new configs will be created with the MaxSpeed/etc. setting ready to be
uncommented. I see no otherway in a short term to get this fixed properly.
