Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 0.14.6-1 Severity: normal This presented itself to me originally as a problem with pbbuttonsd (see bug #377447), as that daemon seemed to not notice when I moved the trackpad, so it would suspend the machine even while I was using it. The maintainer of pbbuttonsd claims this is a known bug in the synaptics driver.
The cause (apparently) is that thhe synaptics driver opens the event device exclusively, so pbbuttonsd can't read any events from it. This would certainly cause the problem. Apparently there's a patch floating around, too (no idea where, though. I wouldn't think opening an event device exclusively would be standard behaviour.
