Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

in the latest update version 0.14.6-0ubuntu6 the scrolling had become too slow.
The default value of VertScrollDelta is set to 800. I had to change it to 200 to get an acceptable behaviour

Now I use a value of 300. This how my xorg.conf looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option "BottomEdge" "4300"
        Option "VertScrollDelta" "300"
EndSection

I've also added BottomEdge because in this way the horizontal
scrolling does only start when my finger is really at the bottom of
the touchpad

Sorry. I wrote 300 but I made an error. Actually the value is 100!

A value of 80 is too low... 100/150 is good!
