If you put the file linked above in the directory named above, X will
re-identify the touchpad correctly most of the time. I've experience
some issues, but as I've mapped control over my capslock key, I rarely
reproduce the bug anymore. However, I have tested the file with a
capslock key and it does provide a fix.
