That is the "standard" (ie not optimised for any particular hardware)

I would suggest backing up /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptic-options.fdi:-
"sudo cp /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptic-options.fdi
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptic-options.fdi.bak"
Copy the following code:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">on</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxSpeed" type="string">1.00</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MinSpeed" type="string">0.75</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">on</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll"
type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll"
type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.LockedDrags" type="string">1</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Open the policy for editing:-
"sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptic-options.fdi"
Replace the content with the copy buffer and save (F2,y, Enter)
Restart hal and see if your mouse/pad works as desired:-
"sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart"
