Odd touchpad behaviour on Eee Pc 1000H

[Jakob Schmitt]

Since some updates for xserver on 2011-01-25 it is nearly impossible to use the Elantech touchpad of my Eee Pc 1000H. When I have moved the mouse pointer and keep the finger on the touchpad it moves further into the direction even if I don't move my finger anymore. Especially at slow or short movements it is very difficult to hit the target.
