Very slow Alps touchpad with default settings on Sony Vaio

[Hezekiah Carty]

The touchpad on my Sony Vaio VGN S260 is very slow (movement-wise) using the default settings after an install from Dapper Flight 3.

If I find better settings for this, should I submit them? Is this something which should improve as the Dapper development does? It is a significant problem, since the only way to fix this that I know of is to edit xorg.conf by hand.

The same problem on a Sony Vaio S5M and Flight 3.

This seems to be fixed on my Vaio VGN-S260 using a fresh Dapper Flight6 install. The movement speed and acceleration seem reasonable, scrolling seems to function properly as well as tap clicking.

As the submitter says this is fixed.
