I just tried version 1.1.2-1ubuntu1 with no extra configuration, and my comment 18 still applies:

Since then I have been running with a custom /etc/hal/fdi/policy/anders- synaptics.fdi that sets MaxSpeed == MinSpeed, and I have found the pointer much easier to control. Xorg is indeed still accelerating the pointer, but its acceleration is a lot smoother than the synaptics driver’s. -- Touchpad movement problems in 0.99.3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
