I tried the latest patch you posted, and while the kernel driver seem to work ok (though you can feel the lack of a proper acceleration curve), the synaptics driver in X doesn't work in any useable way. I updated the one that comes with breezy to whatever was the latest on the author web site (.44 I think) and while it detected the tracpkad, the result was soooooo slooooow that it was totally unseable. I've tried the config tool that comes with KDE for it but couldn't "boost" it to anything useful. Is that expected or is there still issues to be resolved in the driver ? I'm tempted to add some minimum support for a proper acceleration curve in the kernel driver in fact... Ben.
