    Hello,

    The package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics version 0.99.3-2ubuntu5 seems to break the trackpad behaviour in my AOD150.

    I installed it from the ppa.launchpad.net repository when I was in process of upgrading the Intel video drivers. It made my trackpad behave badly. When I did fast movements with my fingers in the trackpad, the cursor moved very slowly. Slower than if I made slow movements.

    To avoid this problem, do not install 0.99.3-2ubuntu5. The solution for me was to downgrade to 0.99.3-2ubuntu4, and my trackpad behaviour went back to normal.

    That teaches me not to try to fix what's not broken! :)

    Cheers
