Comment 5 for bug 379517

This problem makes any kind of fine positioning difficult.

>lshal | grep -A 5 input.touchpad | grep product
  info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)

If I run
>synclient -m 10

And very very slowly move my finger across the touchpad (about 30-40 seconds to traverse the touchpad), I can see the x value slowly changing from about 80 to 970 but the pointer does not move at all.
