Hi,

The touchpad is recognised OK when the kernel boots,
and my usb
connected mouse works fine.  But I get the following
message in
the syslog when I try to use the mousepad or any of
the buttons :-

    ... kernel: Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte

It worked alright in previous kernels before the
Synaptic driver was
added.

Relevant /var/log/dmesg content:-

 drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver hid

and /dev/psaux, but none of them work.
