Please try this patch instead. It works well with my alps touchpad. (I
don't have a synaptics touchpad.) It does the following:
* Compensates for the lack of floating point arithmetic by keeping
track of remainders from the integer divisions.
* Removes the xres/yres scaling so that you get the same speed in the
X and Y directions even if your screen is not square.
* Sets scale factors so that the speed for synaptics and alps should
be equal to each other and equal to the synaptics speed from 2.6.10.
