>it just doesn't feel right even after adjusting all sorts of settings.

personal opinion: have you looked at the sheer number of options exposed for a modern trackpad in linux?

it's insane; I don't really have any problem understanding the difficulty in achieving a good set of defaults -- there were like 200 exposed parameters the last time I tried to get it 'just right'. (a modern synaptics' touchpad on a new dell XPS.)

if I was on some quest to make it feel like Windows or OSX i'd probably have to give up -- not that those two feel better to me, but the sheer granularity is intimidating.

NOTE: this isn't to say that I dislike how the trackpad feels in Linux; I usually always get to a nice set of parameters that feels good to me, they just aren't the same as Windows or OSX, although I have little doubt that the granularity is there for someone to get it right.
