I suspect this behaviour is caused by the interaction of a couple of
factors:
* the touchpad is anisotropic, about 2500DPI vertically but only 1500DPI
horizontally
* both the synaptics driver and X are making making pointer acceleration
calculations
These can be mostly fixed by tweaking the config; I'm currently using
(add this as "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf" and restart your
Xserver):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
MatchProduct "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
Driver "synaptics"
# fix touchpad resolution
Option "VertResolution" "100"
Option "HorizResolution" "65"
# disable synaptics driver pointer acceleration
Option "MinSpeed" "1"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
# tweak the X-server pointer acceleration
Option "AccelerationProfile" "2"
Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "16"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "16"
Option "VelocityScale" "32"
EndSection
