My laptop's synaptics touchpad hasn't functioned correctly for a while in
dapper, I think it stopped working roughly the same time I upgraded to 2.6.15,
and as I can't see any changes to the xorg synaptics driver I'm going to
squarely blame the kernel.

In general, the touchpad works (ie. you can move the pointer) and tap-to-click
and double-tap-to-double-click seem to work ok, but the other special features
don't:

 * tap-and-drag doesn't work
 * side scrolling doesn't work
 * circular scrolling doesn't work
