Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 1.4.0-1 Severity: important I have been having serious issues with my synaptics touchpad with version 1.4.0, causing severe disruptions and lagging. Xorg.log shows several errors that I had been dismissing, until upon looking carefully I saw my touchpad is being detected as multitouch, but this can't be!, my laptop is over 6 years old. X kept probing without success for a synaptics multitouch touchpad. This was directly related to the Kernel throwing the below debug messages. I didn't know how to block synaptics from detecting the wrong touchpad, so I simply decided to uninstall the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package and now my touchpad is working correctly without losing sync.
Touchpad works fine when X detects it as ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. But fails terribly with SynPS/2 or PS/2 Apr 10 23:55:17 debturion kernel: [ 204.009286] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4 Apr 10 23:55:17 debturion kernel: [ 204.010682] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 Apr 10 23:55:17 debturion kernel: [ 204.020567] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 - driver resynched.
