Quirk - Fourth draft

I have played a bit with touchpad resolutions and I'm still convinced that touchpads with the same resolution and different physical size should act differently, therefore I don't think we should really relay on the resolution.

I have rewritten the patch so that the threshold is a property which we can set through xinput. Customised thresholds for different laptops can now be added to the fdi file. For example I put different values for HP Mini 1000 and Dell Mini10v.

Thanks to this patch users will be able to experiment with different values for the threshold (when the cursor jumps too much), find the one which solves the problem (or which makes it more bearable), get the output of "lshal | grep system.hardware.product" (or some other detail of their laptop) and add a quirk in the fdi file.

Feedback on the patch is welcome.
