    Remove repeater functionality.
    
    Remove the repeater functionality completely from the synaptics touchpad
    driver. It is buggy in its current implementation and its usefulness is
    questionable.
    
    According to the INSTALL file, the repeater is there only for testing. In
    fact, if a supported device is found even a configured repeater fifo is
    automatically disabled. For most users the functionality is therefore
    irrelevant and can be confusing. If I understand the workings of the
    repeater correctly, a developer could instead just read the data directly
    from an unsupported device's character special file under /dev
    or /dev/input.
    
    With today's more dynamic device configuration possibilities via udev and
    hal it's also less likely that the synaptics driver would silently block
    another devices data, this situation being for what the repeater
    functionality seems to have been introduced in the past.
