The VertResolution/HorizResolution options shouldn't be needed on newer touchpads anyway if the kernel provides it. So you can ignore those.
and yes, this is the same bug. the problem is caused by the server needing to support true absolute devices in relative mode (e.g. graphics tablets). If you have one of those, a relative motion on the device should reflect the motion on the screen - that's harder to do on touchpads where the aspect ratio and sizes are out of whack. fwiw, as of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input- synaptics/commit/?id=0a4cf80a00663ff3ce8e76baf0940782576efe13, synaptics doesn't need to be absolute anymore, you can replace all xf86InitValuatorAxisStruct() calls with a min/max of -1. This makes the axes truly relative and is the right solution. But you'll find the pointer accel will be completely out of whack after that, if you manage to find the magic numbers to tweak it back to what it currently is, you've found the solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621432 Title: Touchpad speed asymetrical (horizontal faster than vertical) Status in Xserver Xorg Input Synaptics: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Using Ubuntu Maverick on a Samsung NC10 : since that release, moving my touchpad horizontally makes the pointer to move faster than moving it vertically.
