Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm running Arch Linux. So, what I did
was I wanted to change the behavior of the synaptics driver, so
I edited the code, complied to a package and then installed the
package. Then, the new update for synaptics comes along, and I
upgrade. The weird thing is that the behavior that I changed
stayed the same. So, I uninstalled, and then reinstalled the
newest version, and it even give the version number as the
newest version. So either for some bizarre reason, it is keeping
my changes, or synaptics actually made the same change I did.
Btw, the change I made was disabling movement of the cursor with
three fingers. It originally allowed the cursor to move when you
used 1 or 3 fingers, but I made it so it only moves when there
is 1 finger.  Could someone confirm whether or not the new
version has this change or not?  share|improve this question add
