Sure, it is the one from David in post #144 only. But here are the steps from him below.
A tarball of the patches is here (they are as similar to the SuSE patches as possible, 212-fixups.patch contains the additions to make the result compile cleanly):
http://david.hardeman.nu/synaptics-suse-patches.tar.bz2
I actually skipped the last step since I built is on a second computer but I just copied my i386 .DEB on a memory stick to my Netbook, uninstalled current Synaptics Xorg driver from Synatic Package Manager.Quote:
To build your own xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package, do:
mkdir tmpbuild
cd tmpbuild
wget http://david.hardeman.nu/synaptics-suse-patches.tar.bz2
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
cd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-<version>
cd debian
cd patches
tar xfvj ../../../synaptics-suse-patches.tar.bz2
ls -1 2*.patch >> series
cd ..
cd ..
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
sudo dpkg -i ../xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_<version>_<arch>.deb
And then restart your X server
Next I installed my new .DEB by just clicking on it and letting Get Software install it. Just ignore the warning.
If all goes wrong just reinstall original Xorg driver from Synaptic again.
This was a perfect step by step for me. I am running 11.04 Desktop 32 bit on an HP 2102 (same as 210). I cannot vouch for others. I would post my .DEB but I do not have a way to do that.
Edit: One other comment, I had put some fixes in the /usr/share/X11/xord.d directory like I did for 10.10. I had to remove all these because they conflicted with the new driver.
As he noted, post #144
I messed around with Launchpad too long. Some day when I have a bunch of extra time I will try it again.
Not sure what rules I am violating but I just gziped the deb and attached it here.
Just use gzip -d <file name>
Note if you save the .gz to directory of its own you can type "gzip -d x" then hit the tab key and it will fill in the rest.
I make not warranties express or implied. I compiled this from the post I listed above and it works on an HP Mini 2102 should work fine on a 210 as well. Not sure about any other model or make.
Good luck.
Note: Please read my previous post but this is only tested on 11.04.
scrolling fix might be
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
this is amazing, thanks!!! only thing that still misfires is that selecting / dragging doesn't work when two-finger-scroll is enabled, because when one finger pushes left button and other finger moves, it's regarded as scrolling. nevertheless, this fix was just what i needed!
edit: this two-finger-scrolling / selecting problem could be fixed if the button-part of the touchpad would no longer be regarded as part of the touchpad but just as buttons, right? would that be a possibility, to just disable the bottom centimeter for all input except clicking of the buttons? just letting the mind run wild here, it's a longshot...
