Having trouble with the trackpad on my Lenovo X201

I'm trying ot get Arch set up on my new Lenovo X201 thinkpad and I've got as far as getting X up and running.  However, I'm having some problems with the trackpad.

First of all the mouse pointer is a little crazy, leaps all over the screen and is very difficult to control - any ideas on how to improve on that?  Also, I've tried following various wiki examples of how to get things working (in particular using the right side of the pad for vertical scrolling) and I'm not having much luck there...

Any advice?

Never mind - it turns out that just installing synaptics fixed everything :-)
