I found the appletouch support in terms of acceleration pretty bad, the first
time I tried it.  Then I fiddled a bit with the source code and came up with
the attached patch.  It seems that the resolution settings were initially
worked out for powerbooks, which have a smaller touchpad area.

This works great for me, so maybe you should try it out and why not include it
in the patch set on the repository.
