Hello, I've just experienced exactly the same problem, but with a bit of playing I've got the pad working again.
I had two mice configured in my xorg.conf, one for /dev/input/mice and one for the touch pad. I had "CorePointer" set for /dev/input/mice. When I removed it and put it in the touchpad section, the touchpad sprang back into life. ------- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "CorePointer" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" EndSection ------- Hope that helps.
