Bug#437254: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: same cause, other simptoms

I have been having trouble with the 0.14.6-0ubuntu7 package from Ubuntu 7.04. Basically what it does is that it fails to register some taps as clicks because of the strange readings described in the previous post (X=1, Y=5855).

More details can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/133060 (with a sample of synclient -m 10 recorded).

I can confirm that some taps are not registered. I didn't notice this before
because i hate taps and disabled them.

And i can confirm that this hack fix this problem as well.
i really don't know this problem could be properly fixed.
