The case on Acer Aspire One is idiosyncratic. You may try whether this works for you or not:
# synclient FingerLow=9 FingerHigh=12

I'm testing the latest Synaptics on Acer Aspire One and I've noticed that the device reported wrong range for pressure. The device reports that the available finger pressure range is 0 - 255, while testing with "synclient -m 10" shows that the maximum pressure is only 70. So you've to press *really hard* along the right edges to scroll. The command above set a sane value for this device.

If that works for you, we can workaround this quirk by setting it by using hal.
