Synaptics bk8 + patches

[Ricardo Galli]

Peter,
	I just tried your last patches at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/
patches/touchpad/2.6.0-test5-bk8/v1/.

They not only gives the sync's error:

Synaptics driver lost sync at 4th byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver resynced.
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver resynced.

but also the pointer is almost uncontrollable. 

The pointer's response is not coherent, mainly the speed. Sometimes is 
slower, other faster, sometimes the mouse even doesn't move, especially 
in the y axis.

Also, most of the time a tap is considered a very short drag.


Cheers.

1. I don't know what's causing the lost sync errors. Someone else
   reported that disabling ACPI helped on his computer.

2. Don't apply patch #4 from my web site. It changes the event
   protocol and requires user space changes that I haven't implemented
   yet.
