As I understand it from this - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/ElantechTouchpad#head-a037b0abce86c15b70f9936931c0f97310f29fac - it's all fixed fine in a newer version of the synaptics driver, 0.99.1 and above. There's a package available for debian here (http://alioth.debian.org/~dsalt-guest/eee/), but it will not install on Jaunty.

So I guess this bug should, more accurately, be that we need to update the synaptics driver.
