[Maverick] Touchpad has started acting odd (absolute position?)

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

My laptop touchpad has just (after an update on maverick) started acting weird. I think it is working in something
like absolute mode - but not quite; if I tap on the right of the pad it moves quite a way to the right, if I tap on the left it hardly
moves; the further to the right of the pad I tap the further to the right it moves.It doesn't want to move up and down much.

Odd!
