Input: synaptics - update OLPC XO exclusion
We have determined that the jumpiness previously seen when using the synaptics kernel mouse driver on OLPC XO was due to not using the synaptics X11 userspace driver - the xf86-input-evdev driver was interpreting 'finger near pad' signals as movements. Newer versions of xf86-input-evdev fix this issue. Additionally, the synaptics kernel driver is now usable on this platform, but only when run in relative mode. Update the comment and refine the check to allow the synaptics driver to run on OLPC XO in relative mode. We will continue investigating the EC issue as time becomes available.
