My touchpad works much better now. Dmesg picks it up as:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: [ITHREAD]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0
/var/log/Xorg.0.log reports this:

Acceleration is much better now. Touchpad options are statically configured in xorg.conf.

I have these two options in xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
One thing I notice is sometimes left-clicks become right-clicks. I have to press both buttons
simultaneously for the left-click to work normally again. It happens randomly. Are you experiencing
this behaviour ?
Thanks for your time.
