If you’re facing the problem of your touchpad mouse being too slow in your linux distribution then here is your solution (it worked for me and a few other people). This was tested in Debian but may also work in other linux distributions.
All you have to do is to edit your xorg.conf file and add the following (don’t forget to create a backup):
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
Driver “synaptics”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “true”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/psaux” (or whatever you have here)
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5″
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “on”
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
Option “LeftEdge” “85″
Option “RightEdge” “1010″
Option “TopEdge” “85″
Option “BottomEdge” “730″
Option “FingerLow” “25″
Option “FingerHigh” “30″
Option “MaxTapTime” “180″
Option “MaxTapMove” “220″
Option “VertScrollDelta” “100″
Option “MinSpeed” “0.10″
Option “MaxSpeed” “0.45″
Option “AccelFactor” “0.2″
Option “HorizScrollDelta” “0″
EndSection
This should do the trick 
If you don’t know how to edit your xorg.conf file then here is a possible way of doing it:
1- Open your terminal, login as root, and navigate to /etc/X11.
2- Now, you can use Vi (text editor, usually already installed) to edit the file in the console. Just write vi xorg.conf. Now you are able to edit the file. Save it and you’re done.
If you do not know how to work with Vi you can check this link or try other editor.
3- Reboot so the system loads the new configuration and you should now have a faster touchpad.
You can also edit speed values at your need.
Take care!
