I have a 6000 as well and the sensitivity is a big problem for me as 
well.  I have it mostly under control by drasticly changing the finger 
low and high options in the xorg.conf, but I can still tell that it is 
way shadier than with windows.  I often mess up text due to what it 
detects are hits which instantly moves the cursor but I keep typing.  
Really annoying.
