I have a synaptic touchpad and it seems that the parameter "RightEdge" is limited to 5982 because when I set it to a bigger value the scrolling doesn't work anymore.

It gives me about 1.5cm of scroll area at the right edge of my touchpad which I find too large because it makes me always scroll when I don't want it. So I'm wondering if there is a workaround or a patch to increase this parameter.

On my Thinkpad T60P, I've got the following set up for the Synaptics Touchpad.

from xorg.conf
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Synaptics"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "event"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
        Option      "LeftEdge" "1900"
        Option      "RightEdge" "5400"
        Option      "TopEdge" "1900"
        Option      "BottomEdge" "4000"
        Option      "FingerLow" "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime" "0"
        Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed" "0.05"
        Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.20"
        Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
#       Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection


This gives me a pen/pencil width size area for scrolling on the right side.

Hope this helps.
