We have been using this patch in Ubuntu kernels for 5 months now without issue. Since patch author Eric Miao no longer works for us, I'm sending to the list so that other distros can take advantage of this.
Last we left off, the suggestion was to make this generic across the entire range of protocols, not just synaptics. I'm against this for two reasons. The first is that I don't want to have to ask for additional testing (I don't have access to the machine). The second and far more important reason is that I am afraid that this will break other non-synaptics touchpads, and even though we have a wide range of hardware, it is impossible to guarantee that it'll work on everything out there. I will do it however if it's the way we need to go with this. Please let me know what you think, or if you need any additional information or testing.
