I've noticed the "Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found" in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well while I was trying to get the Synaptics mouse pad on my Toshiba Satellite 5200 to work properly (it seems that after having upgraded to Feisty - in beta as of today - the mouse pointer on my machine likes to jump nine times out of ten like it used to in earlier Edgy versions whenever my finger touches the pad too far off center - the direction it jumps on the screen corresponds with the offset of my finger from the pad center which can drive you crazy).
I've uninstalled KSynaptics after attempts it would help me fix the jumpy mouse pointer had failed and my mental sanity was endangered. Ksynaptics kept reporting annoying error messages about missing SHMConfig setting despite it's included in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" option "SendCoreEvents" "true" option "Device" "/dev/psaux" option "Protocol" "auto-dev" option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection Since it's been around for a while I strongly suggest to have this bug/feature looked at. Please let me know if you have any questions.
