Bug#443090: Fix

[Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've just experienced exactly the same problem, but with a bit of playing 
I've got the pad working again.

I had two mice configured in my xorg.conf, one for /dev/input/mice and one 
for the touch pad.  I had "CorePointer" set for /dev/input/mice.  When I 
removed it and put it in the touchpad section, the touchpad sprang back 
into life.

-------
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "Protocol"      "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option      "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver      "synaptics"
    Option      "CorePointer"
    Option      "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
    Option      "HorizScrollDelta"  "0"
    Option      "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Default Layout"
    Screen      "Default Screen"
    InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
    InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
-------

Hope that helps.
