Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
The patches in Alberto Milone's PPA https:/
Due to the touchpad buttons being in the live part of the touchpad and the way the package currently handles inputs from separated parts of the touchpad it is almost impossible to control.

I have uploaded a new version for Karmic to my PPA. See the attached debdiff.
Explanation of my changes: multifinger_ click.patch: Drop patch as it breaks
1) - 105_correct_
the expected behavior for multitouch clicking (LP: #320585).
This is simply a revert.
2) - 111_add_ active_ area.patch: Backport "Synaptics Area" property
from upstream (LP: #402863).
This is a patch of mine which was accepted by upstream but I had to adapt it for Karmic as the upstream driver has changed a bit.
3) - 112_jumpy_ cursor_ quirks. patch: Add Quirk for Dell Mini 10v
touchpad (LP: #402863).
This patch hasn't been accepted by upstream yet. It acts differently according to the kind of touchpad:
* non-multitouch devices: things should improve only for the Dell Mini 10v and for the Hp Mini 1000 MI. Other netbooks/laptops which don't have multitouch devices should not be affected.
* multitouch devices: things should improve for all devices.
4) - 113_add_ capabilities. patch: Backport read-only "Synaptics
Capabilities" property from upstream.
I backported this read-only property from upstream as we need it for an OEM project.
Feedback is welcome
