This patch doesn't help me.  I get the following messages:

    sigint:~/gpm/src# *** warning [synaptics.c(2106)]: Value (      ) for parameter drag_lock_enabled is invalid

    *** err [synaptics.c(2704)]: PS/2 device doesn't appear to have synaptics stick capabilities

Afterward, the stick works, but not the touchpad, and none of the
buttons.

I will try to figure out what is wrong later today.
