As Mohammad reported this seems to be a problem with [kq]synaptics, not the synaptics driver. I'd still like to hear reports from 338686 submitter but I'm pretty convinced it's the same problem as he mentioned ksynaptics too and symptoms are . Arnaud: You need to rebuild ksynaptics with the 0.14.4 shared memory segment layout that has changed from 0.14.3. Current ksynaptics working with the newer synaptics driver causes the touchpad to be disabled as soon as ksynaptics plays with the runtime configuration.
