Actually, neither starting syndaemon via rc.local nor enabling SHMconfig in xorg.conf helped. The only way to disable touchpad while typing was to start syndaemon from a graphic session as a user. The button to disable touchpad does not work and the "disable touchpad while typing" checkbox in system control panel has no effect as per my original report.
