[Clinton <clintonsprain@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect that this bug conflates two different issues, both of which
now have patches:

1) appletouch exhibits jagged movement (see bug 1264426)
and
2) synaptics defaults for fingerlow and fingerhigh for some MacBooks were unreasonably high (see bug 1246215).

The appletouch driver was patched upstream in the 3.15 kernel, which
would put it in Ubuntu 14.10. The xorg patch was submitted for 1.8 and
it looks like it may have been backported to 1.7, which would presumably
put it in 14.04.

We can probably close this once someone verifies on 14.10 that behavior
is good.

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

  When using ubuntu on a MacBook (rev. 5,2) the touchpad is very hard to
  use. To move the mouse pointer at all, one has to press down very hard
  on the touchpad.
