  I guess this is an ad-hoc build version to test ubuntu patches.

  There have been a major change in version number from sid to experimental, 
from 0.14.7~git20070706-3 to 0.99.3-3  My guess overall is that there are 
several defaults that have been modified (wrongly, IMHO). So this problem as 
you have explained it could be broke down into the three topics you mention.

  I also have found this problem, on xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.99.3-3, 
xserver-xorg-core:2:1.5.99.902-1 and xserver-xorg:1:7.4~5. I've mostly deal 
with it.

  For 1), I've set VertEdgeScroll=1 and HorizEdgeScroll=1 which I guess is 
what 106_always_enable_vert_edge_scroll.patch does

  2) is basically http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497523 
which workarounded as explained there. 104_always_enable_tapping.patch is my 
guess from ubuntu patches.

  3) should also be a consequence of a change of defaults. I don't really care 
about that much, but I suppose tweaking MinSpeed, MaxSpeed and AccelFactor 
should work.

  HTH,
