Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: important

The Latitude D420 has a touchpad which is detected by the kernel as
follows:

  input: PS/2 Mouse as /class/input/input1
  input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /class/input/input2

The synaptics driver in X.org uses this just fine. However there are two
major issues:

 - The sensitivity is way too low. Even when setting it to maximum in
   gsynaptics makes it so slow I need something like ten full movements
   across the pad just to get the mouse pointer from the middle to the
   upper left corner of the screen. I had to multiply the defaults by
   ten (giving MinSpeed=0.9 and MaxSpeed=1.8) and manually inject that
   into xorg.conf to get what I'd expect as a reasonable default
   behaviour from the mouse pointer.
 - Tapping and scrolling does not work, even though synclient seems to
   indicate that both are enabled. However, there seems to be something
   odd going on with the hardware tapping; FWIW, here's a record of me
   tapping a few times:

   fugl:~> synclient -m 10
      time     x    y   z f  w  l r u d m     multi  gl gm gr gdx gdy
     0.000   518  465   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0

   and here's the same thing, using the buttons instead:

   fugl:~> synclient -m 10
      time     x    y   z f  w  l r u d m     multi  gl gm gr gdx gdy
     0.000   403  365   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0

     1.130   403  365   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0
     1.286   403  365   0 0  0  1 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0
     1.406   403  365   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0

  Given that I use the defaults (except MinSpeed and MaxSpeed),
  shouldn't it be able to figure out for itself that I'm tapping, even
  though l=0 all the time? (I'm not sure how to debug the vertical
  scrolling either; FWIW, x seems to be around 970-1000 when I pull my
  finger across the right edge.)

OK; doing that then.

Thanks for the quick answer.
