Trackpad lack of fine movement and overrun ruining experience.

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

       Option "MinSpeed" "0.25"
   EndSection

I've built on your settings a little and have found these to be very good:
synclient MinSpeed=0.25
synclient FingerLow=30
synclient PalmDetect=1
synclient VertScrollDelta=64
synclient HorizScrollDelta=64

'FingerLow' has the same value as 'FingerHigh' in my config (30). I believe it helps reduce mouse movement as you lift your finger, but I'm not sure if synaptic works like this.
Anyway, I find this config to be comfortable for daily use. I'm still trying to find out how to stop the cursor from jumping around, whenever you put down the finger.
Let me know if anyone finds out some even better settings!
