It would be helpful if someone could get a backtrace of syndaemon while it's stuck. First, install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dbgsym. To install it, do one of the following:
* Enable the ddebs repository: $ sudo add-apt-repository deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ natty main $ sudo apt-get update Install the package: $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dbgsym Or * Install the package manually from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/ Now, when syndaemon gets stuck, do the following: Determine the PID of syndaemon (there's probably a better way, but this works): $ ps x | grep syndaemon | grep -v grep | cut -f 1 -d ' ' Use gdb on the process $ gdb /usr/bin/syndaemon <PID> Inside gdb, run the command "backtrace". Copy the output and paste it here.
