Thanks for the compiler tip, I thought we had to recompile the entire
kernel and was taking  6 hours on this little atom.

Trying your latest synaptics.diff with z=77 fixes horizontal scrolling,
but I can't get a high enough z to get the left / right clicks to work.

When I run synclient -m 100, I get z values of around 45 when I click
the lower left or right, and about the same z of 45 when I horizontal
scroll.  I'll try your patch with different z values and report back if
I find a good compromize.

If the only reason you disable horizontal scrolling is for the jumpy
mouse problem, there may be another way to deal with that, and it seemed
to work on lucid for me:

synclient JumpyCursorThreshold=50

I put his in a startup program to run at startup.

If we can figure out how to identify this touchpad "MatchTag" we could
include a quirk in the quirks file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51
-synaptics-quirks.conf to set it.  A related post regarding quirks is at
http://www.pubbs.net/201001/xorg/1033-xorgconfd-inputclass-feature-
request.html

I need to fully read that post, but it looks like my lenovo s10 has this
identifier:

 :~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name 
20040M18

Could you give me a synaptics.diff that enables both horizontal
scrolling and left / right clicks, like lucid had?  Then, I'll play
around with the JumpyCursorThreshhold quirk idea and see if we can fix
both problems.
