Public bug reported:

When connecting an external monitor to my netbook, I have to use a
vertical orientation of screens in order to retain acceleration.  In
this setup, I also use an external mouse and keyboard.  They work fine.

The laptop's touchpad however becomes weird to use:  vertical movement
is massively exaggerated.  I'd say a given movement in the y dimension
will move the cursor about 3 times as far as the same movement
horizontally.

This makes it much more difficult to target window decorations, url
bars, and so forth (including the menu bar of the lower screen, which no
longer has a screen edge to act as a backstop for the cursor).

This started occurring some time in the last week or two, and I install
updates (including from -proposed) every week or so.
