Actually, the synaptics driver is part of xorg now, and it ships the
fdi file. So, it'd probably be best to ask on xorg-devel at .

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/tree/fdi/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

However, wouldn't it be best to get to fix this in the kernel so that
the correct pressure range is reported?
