Bug#495264: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: synaptics doesn't load settings at X startup

[Philip Ashmore <contact@philipashmore.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: normal

I realise this is a duplicate of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=372692
I tried to add a response that I was experiencing the same behaviour with reportbug but it crashed.
I've got a synaptics touchpad on a Dell Inspiron 8000 with 512MB ram and an nVidia GeForce 2Go grpahics card with 32MB of ram, if that helps.
