Dell Precision M65 and xorg and synaptics

Out if the box the settings for the synaptics touchpad are horribly bad. Especially since this laptop has a native resolution of 1920x1200.

Thanks to this webpage it now works great!

This is the relevant section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
 Driver  "synaptics"
 Option  "InputFashion"  "Mouse"
 Option  "SendCoreEvents" "false"
 Option  "Device"  "/dev/psaux"
 Option  "Protocol"  "auto-dev"
 Option  "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
 Option  "SHMConfig"  "on"
 Option  "RTCornerButton" "0"
 Option  "RBCornerButton" "0"
 Option  "TapButton1"  "0"
 Option  "TapButton2"  "0"
 Option  "TapButton3"  "0"
 Option  "Buttons"  "8"
 Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5 6 7"
 Option  "TopEdge"  "100"
 Option  "BottomEdge"  "670"
 Option  "LeftEdge"  "100"
 Option  "RightEdge"  "950"
 Option  "MaxSpeed"  "2.0"
 Option  "MinSpeed"  "0.5"
 Option  "AccelFactor"  "0.05"
EndSection

This is great!

To make it work, set the following xmodmappings:

keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 130 = XF86HomePage
keycode 223 = XF86Sleep
keycode 161 = XF86Calculator

E.g. add this to a file in your homedir and load it with xmodmap from your .xsession file.
