Public bug reported:
While syndaemon and synclient worked fine in Oneiric, I had to disable
syndaemon in Precise because shortly after starting syndaemon (via
~/.xsession), the touchpad (and its buttons) stopped working, i.e. I had
no more means to move the mouse cursor.
Commenting just the later synclient call in my .xsession didn't help, so
it seems unrelated to the used settings. Pressing the F9 button to
enable/disable the touchpad showed no effect either.
The very same configuration works fine on at least two Debian Sid
netbooks (both ASUS EeePC, but different generations) and worked fine on
the same hardware with Ubuntu Oneiric, so the source for this issue must
be either the different hardware (Toshiba AC100, an ARM netbook) plus
the newer package or some new difference between Ubuntu Precise
(1.5.99.902-0ubuntu5) and Ubuntu Oneiric (1.4.1-1ubuntu2) or Debian Sid
(1.5.99.902-1).
Since all other "touchpad stopped working" bug reports claim that it
happens more often with precise than with oneiric, I think this is
another issue as it always worked with oneiric and never worked with
precise in my case.
