just a thought - is there a reason for not using the sid repositories?  the 1201N
is bleeding edge hardware... you'd expect to find the best support for it in
experimental.

if you are using lenny repositories this
may not apply, but check which versions of xserver-xorg-core and
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics you are using... for the latest ones
I had to use udev rules instead of hal .fdi policy file.

I use synclient rather than gsynaptics to test from the commandline.
