Dear maintainers,
after the last update the synaptics-driver is either not correctly
recognized, not correctly loaded or its configuration is not working
properly (this might be similar to bug #372692) . The pointer is working,
but the scroll functions at the edge of the mousepad do not work, neither
vertical, nor horizontal. To verify this, here is my
complete xorg.conf (there should be no mistake in it):
