For a long time during the 2.5 series I couldn't use the synaptics support. As a result, I haven't tested this for some time. I just compiled a fresh 2.6.0 tree, included synaptics support and now I am getting mouse jitter. The easiest way to see this is to open Mozilla and go to a page with a lot of text links such as a news site with links to a number of stories. With synaptics support compiled in I get side to side jitter when moving the mouse over a link. It looks as if my finger has a nervous twitch in it. Then, when I take my finger off the touchpad to click on the link, the mouse cursor jumps about an eighth of an inch in a random direction. It is very annoying since the jump takes it off the link and I can't click on it. Compiling synaptics support out gets me back to a stable mouse cursor.
