Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important
I have been having serious issues with my synaptics touchpad with
version 1.4.0, causing severe disruptions and lagging. Xorg.log shows
several errors that I had been dismissing, until upon looking carefully
I saw my touchpad is being detected as multitouch, but this can't be!,
my laptop is over 6 years old. X kept probing without success for a
synaptics multitouch touchpad. This was directly related to the Kernel
throwing the below debug messages. I didn't know how to block synaptics
from detecting the wrong touchpad, so I simply decided to uninstall the
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package and now my touchpad is working
correctly without losing sync.
Touchpad works fine when X detects it as ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. But
fails terribly with SynPS/2 or PS/2
