A real synaptics pad will only return a max W of 15.  16 is total range.

Since last year, kernel is now reporting minw=0 and maxw=15 and minp=0
and maxp=255 and so xf86-input-synaptics is using these values with
new kernels anyways.  Should be pretty safe since I've not heard
negative reports.

I had made a similar patch last year but never submitted it because it
caused new default values for palm and 2FG emulation and I could only
test on 1 laptop.

Also, I think there is a bug in related code because range of W is 16
but the following computes 15.  With above patch, range becomes 14 and
at such small values its very noticeable in default values computed.
But as I mentioned, new kernels + xf86-input-synaptics are using these
values anyways and no complaints.

    range = priv->maxw - priv->minw + 1;
