Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.5.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad of my MSI laptop stopped working after upgrading to
version 1.5.0 of the synaptics driver. In the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log the
following error messages appeared:

The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf contained the line

 Option          "Protocol" "auto-dev"

After removing this line the synaptics driver worked again.
My point is that in the man-page of synaptics the following text appears:

       Option "Protocol" "string"
              Specifies which kernel driver will be used by this driver.  This
              is  the  list of supported drivers and their default use scenar-
              ios.

              auto-dev   automatic, default (recommend)
              event      Linux 2.6 kernel events
              psaux      raw device access (Linux 2.4)
              psm        FreeBSD psm driver

Shouldn't this text be revised? And may be a warning about this behavior be
added to the file changelog.Debian.gz?

Please fell free to contact me, if further information is needed.

Best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
