[intrepid] touchpad less responsive and top/bottom-right corner tapping disabled

[Alberto Milone]

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:
Installed version: 0.15.2-0ubuntu1

In Hardy my SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad was more sensitive and clicking on the top-right or on the bottom-right corners of my touchpad acted as a right click. This is no longer the case in Intrepid.
