[PD] Synaptics touchpad input not working

[dmotd]

also another tip, its possible to configure a
device dynamically with 'xinput', you can
toggle off with:
 xinput --set-prop "name of device" "Device Enabled" 0
i use this with my wacom tablet to go between
xorg device and HID, a full set of properties
can be found with:
 xinput --list-props "name of device"
i hope this is of help.
