Package: xfree86-driver-synaptics
Version: 0.14.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #290308

I'm having the same problem as described above. Interestingly, it all
worked well until dist-upgrade in testing last Friday morning (18.2.05).
After reboot, X won't start any more unless I uncomment   
# Option        "Repeater"      "/dev/ps2mouse"
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, but then I don't get the usual
functionality of the synaptics driver.

As I'm using udev, makedev missing devices should not be the solution?
PLUS, this problem only occurs with Debian stock kernels 2.6.10-1-686
and 2.6.8-1-686, NOT with my minimal custom kernel based on 2.6.8, where
everything works as before... ???

looks to me as if the touchpad has its device... so what's wrong?
