Public bug reported: After configuring multitouch on the trackpad installed on Apple Macbook Pro 5,5 on Maverick Meerkat, as explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Maverick#Touchpad, the default trackpad configuration is wrong and unconfortable.
The cursor is too fast and imprecise, and the tapping is sensitivity is too low - you need to tap with a moderate force to get an effective click. To make the trackpad usable the user needs to manually lower the pointer acceleration, but this way you can't use external mice, since with them the pointer is way too slow. The default configuration should let the user use the trackpad and external mice (simultraneusly) without changing any configuration.
