Comment 68 for bug 28648

I used the above fix to adjust the xorg.conf in 8.04, but in an upgrade to 8.10, the same problem has re-emerged (though this time I can't just patch the xorg.conf). I can change the acceleration/sensitivity in the System -> Preferences -> Mouse configuration, but I can't get the touchpad to feel as smooth as it did before and increasing the acceleration negatively impacts my external mouse. It's usable - it takes about three full-pad scrolls from one side of a 1440x900 screen - but it's not as natural as it was before or it is in Windows. Can you suggest a way to modify the touchpad sensitivity now that things are managed through HAL?
