[Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The VertResolution/HorizResolution options shouldn't be needed on newer
touchpads anyway if the kernel provides it. So you can ignore those.

and yes, this is the same bug.

the problem is caused by the server needing to support true absolute
devices in relative mode (e.g. graphics tablets). If you have one of
those, a relative motion on the device should reflect the motion on the
screen - that's harder to do on touchpads where the aspect ratio and
sizes are out of whack.

fwiw, as of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-
synaptics/commit/?id=0a4cf80a00663ff3ce8e76baf0940782576efe13, synaptics
doesn't need to be absolute anymore, you can replace all
xf86InitValuatorAxisStruct() calls with a min/max of -1. This makes the
axes truly relative and is the right solution. But you'll find the
pointer accel will be completely out of whack after that, if you manage
to find the magic numbers to tweak it back to what it currently is,
you've found the solution.

Title:
  Touchpad speed asymetrical (horizontal faster than vertical)

Status in Xserver Xorg Input Synaptics:
  Confirmed
Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  Using Ubuntu Maverick on a Samsung NC10 : since that release, moving
  my touchpad horizontally makes the pointer to move faster than moving
  it vertically.

  I already had this behavior when I was using X from xorg-edgers PPA
  with Lucid.

  Please let me know if you need additionnal informations.
