Comment 28 for bug 68370

Oh, I forgot the patching step:
1. Download Synaptics source from
http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
2. Extract the files
3. Change eventcomm.c according to the patch
(Run patch, or manually paste the rows in the EventDeviceOffHook method)
4. Run 'make'
5. Run 'sudo cp synaptics_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/'
6. Reboot
