kernel26-lts and xf86-input-synaptics

I recently booted the lts kernel, and discovered the touchpad is not working correctly. I see no reason why an older kernel would interfere with an X module, so I don't know where to start looking. the "psmouse" module is loaded, reloading it doesn't have any effect.

With the newer kernel (2.6.38) I have 3 finger recognition, now only one, making every gesture essentially useless.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Re: kernel26-lts and xf86-input-synaptics

You should check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there is a problem loading this module while X starting,sometimes there is some ABI issues when loading modules.
and you can also try check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf to see if the configration is right.
You man also need to see this(I don't know if you have read it):https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synaptics#ALPS_Touchpads
