  * All the shared memory code has been removed from synclient and syndaemon.
    The SHMConfig option is still available but the only use is for monitoring
    the hardware state data.
    If you have any script that changes the synaptics driver configuration
    make sure that you don't use the -s option to synclient. Or even better,
    configure the driver via hal.

That looks like the problem.
