Bug#622707: found solution: synaptics touchpad losing sync



Hi,

Andres Cimmarusti <acimmarusti@gmail.com> (15/04/2011):

any pointer to upstream reports? Having reports there would help.

The synaptics driver should take over from evdev, and that's it.

Hence matching anything inputy-like, like Power button, Lid buttons,
Volume buttons, Wacom tablets, etc.? I don't think so.

I'd rather have an upstream bug report filed, and that discussed with
Peter, rather than possibly breaking all input configuration.

Thanks for your findings anyway.
