Looks like the old values were 29, 35 and 59 in 12.04. The new values likely are meant for devices that use the newer kernel driver (bcm5974) instead of the old one (appletouch).

The following issues are found: 1) Moving the cursor shows an intermittent behaviour because the parameters for FingerLow and FingerHigh are way too high, hence affecting the sensitivity and requiring more pressure to move the mouse. 2) Having enabled Two-finger tap for right click, using vertical scrolling with two fingers often ends up in a right click. Fixes: I have permanently fixed the settings by editing the first Section block in file "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf" Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" # This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be # enabled by default. See the following link for details: # http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "FingerLow" "30" Option "FingerHigh" "40" Option "MaxTapMove" "25" EndSection The added parts are: Option "FingerLow" "30" Option "FingerHigh" "40" Option "MaxTapMove" "25" where FingerLow and FingerHigh fix issue (1), and MaxTapMove fixes issue (2).
