This is the Debian Package, and it doesn't seem to contain this commit.
I've built from git, and this works!

One problem remains though: the touchpad is overly sensitive. It's like
telekinesis: it already reacts violently when you're still millimetres
away from it.

The synptics driver has properties to configure this stuff, but evdev
doesn't seem to have. Is there another way to configure it, or is this
just not implemented yet? It can't be configured through sysfs, either.

Cheers,
harry
