Trackpad lack of fine movement and overrun ruining experience.

I was messing around with synclient a bit, and found adjusting the MinSpeed setting to help out quite a bit with getting more precision - I'm not sure if it's the recommended way of doing it, but adding this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf allowed it to persist over reboots (in X11):

Code:

   Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "touchpad catchall"
       Driver "synaptics"
       MatchIsTouchpad "on"
       MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

       Option "MinSpeed" "0.25"
   EndSection

Thank you so much! The touchpad is usable now. Not perfect-perfect, but I can actually use it for other stuff than scrolling. Amazing!
