Martin Spacek, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I assume the same happens when enabling multiple screens in a vertical configuration. So, it seems that touchpad speed is relative to the total screen layout size in each axis. This is quite irritating. It would be more reasonable to define speed in absolute terms (pixels/sec) rather than relative terms (% x/y resolution / sec), thereby keeping speed in both axes constant, regardless of the addition/removal of extra screens. I've noticed this on my Thinkpad W510 running Maverick amd64, the latest nvidia binary blob, utouch 1.1, synaptics-dkms 1.0.0, and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.2.2-2ubuntu5 Note that external mice don't exhibit this problem. This might be why this situation isn't encountered often: when plugged into an external monitor, the user is more likely to also plug in an external mouse rather than rely on the touchpad.
