Comment 56 for bug 489830

Sure, I use gpds to enable scrolling with the trackpoint, but I also use it to set the touchpad speed. It's waaay too fast by default on natty (and I think lucid and maverick too) on my Thinkpad W510, and I've noticed the same on an X120e. What's more, the sliders aren't scaled properly it seems. I have to tweak the "minimum speed" slider one pixel at a time near the very bottom end of its range to get it right. The "maximum speed" and "acceleration" sliders don't seem to do anything. And then, every time I reboot, I have to do it again. Not a killer, since I usually suspend/resume, but definitely a paper cut, and a very obvious one on what is fairly common hardware.
