[PATCH 7/16] Limit Synaptics rate on Toshiba Satellites

[Dmitry Torokhov]

===================================================================


ChangeSet@xxxxxxxxxxx, 2004-11-12 01:31:15-05:00, dtor_core@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  Input: synaptics - use DMI to detect Toshiba Satellite notebooks
         and automatically reduce touchpad reporting rate to 40 pps
         as they have trouble handling high rate (80 pps).
