The Alps touchpad on my Dell D630 is very slow after an upgrade from F10 to rawhide. The pointer in the middle of the keyboard doesn't have any issues and click etc work fine. Increasing the speed in either the mouse or using gsynaptic has no effect. In the gsynaptic applet the Max speed slider on the Acceleration tab is set to the slowest value and always gets reset when changed. It worked perfectly in F10.

do you see the same problem when you uninstall gsynaptics (or alternatively, start a plain X session without a desktop environment)? I'm trying to figure out if that's a synaptics or a gsynaptics issue.
I'll remove gsynaptics as I only installed it in F-10 because I needed to speed up the pad a little so it didn't take two drags to get across the screen. I will update again when I restart X this evening.
I can confirm that the removal of gsynaptics has fixed this issue. Thanks!
reassigning to gsynaptics
I think gsynaptics has now been replaced with a new app, and this works when its removed so closing
