I ve tried "event" protocol, but it makes no difference. According to man synaptics "event" and "auto-dev" options are for 2.6 kernels.

Did you try with unpatched kernel?

There's no difference between 2.6.x and 3.x kernels and the "protocol" option defaults to "auto-dev" and can be safely omitted. I just wanted to point out, that explicitly setting options to their default values does not make any sense.

No, to be honest, not yet, but then again I think it will make no difference and yet I ll try and reboot in a couple of minutes and report back. As for the protocol, yes, I ll ommit it.

Re: [SOLVED] Recent xorg update caused touchpad to stop working

Yep, I had the same problem.
Solved by commenting out these lines:

#   MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#   Option          "Protocol" "auto-dev"

Yes, commenting out the protocol option fixed it, thanks.
