Sorry. Did a little more reserach. Seems running "syndaemon" from "/etc/X11/Xsession" like this made it all work better:
--- #!/bin/sh # # /etc/X11/Xsession # # global Xsession file -- used by display managers and xinit (startx) # $Id: Xsession 967 2005-12-27 07:20:55Z dnusinow $ set -e # Start syndaemon to enable [k,g,q]synaptics to communicate with touchpad /usr/bin/syndaemon -i 1 -d -t PROGNAME=Xsession --- Still have the problem with loosing the pointer on switching terminals, though. Perhaps I should file this as a separate bug. -- /dev/input/event? device node changes across reboots https://launchpad.net/bugs/44768 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
