Smooth scrolling - results!

That's because I like to work with the versions I have installed. Otherwise I 
would need to compile the whole Xorg stack, this way I can just change one 
component at a time...
Well, that was my decision, I will do the rebase some time this week.

Thanks for the pointers. Do you think it would be better to implement this in 
the input drivers or in the server itself?

I'll experiment with cutting the events below a certain threshold to 
reduce/block the noise.
