I've disabled acceleration with xset m 1 1 and set both MinSpeed and MaxSpeed to 0.1. The pointer moves the same distance vertically and horizontally but as the touchpad is twice as wide as it is tall I would have expected it to travel twice the distance horizontally. This observation matches with the minimum and maximum coordinates returned by synclient -m which I believe aren't affected by acceleration anyway. > >> Should the ratio of coordinates returned by the touchpad match the >> width/height ratio in order to have constant speed? > > From my exprerience : yes.
