Hal config for Elantech/Eee 1000h touchpad?

I've tried using the one that's in the 901-install Wiki page, and find it massively flakey (sorry no offense to anyone), compared to using xorg.conf.. It doesn't allow precise control at all, and for some reason (I'm sure it's the way I move my finger), seems to really jump up or down when I move side to side..

So does anyone have a config for this that works real good, that cares to share?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Hal config for Elantech/Eee 1000h touchpad?

I know this problem occurs when I compile the elantech driver in the PS2/trackpoint driver:

CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y

I was told you need the latest xf86-input-synaptics but Arch has the latest...
My workaround was to disable elantech:

CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH is not set
