Comment 9 for bug 525477

I'm the author of synaptics+xrandr -patch. I have got many mails from users who think my patch adds value for their touchpad.

I know this patch is not correct (TM) solution for problem. E.g It affects touchpad but not Trackpoint. So the issue should not be fixed on level of touchpad, but lower level. But e.g. there are settings for Wacoom (Interactive Pen Displays and Tablets) to turn it sideway, so with wacom somebody have made same hackish workaround and, seems to me, it is widely accepted.

Patch is discussed on upstream mailinglist: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.devel/20034
As I write there, I do not have enough skill (knowledge of Xorg) to write it correctly.
