Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-synaptics
The sensitivity of the touchpad on the macbook is very flakey.
Sometimes the touchpad is extremely sensitive, and registers touches or
movements when it shouldn't.
Other times it is not sensitive enough, not registering touches or movements.
In particular, it seems that the center area of the touchpad seems have
more trouble registering touches and movement, where the outlying areas
of the touchpad generally seem to be hypersensitive. This isn't always
the case though, as sensitivity seems to vary from one moment to the
next.
The touchpad works fine when booting into OS X, which seems to indicate
proper hardware function.
These symptoms can be somewhat mitigated by tuning the synaptics driver
section of xorg.conf, or by tuning the synaptics driver using synclient.
Hardware is 2nd gen (Nov 2006) core 2 black macbook
