[PD] Synaptics touchpad input not working

[Pedro Lopes]

I've never used hid or linuxmouse. And when I saw your message I gave it a
try (since I'm also running Ubuntu and have a synaptics touchpad).

I'd like to help but here it seems to be even a bigger mess... it crashes
when accessing the mouse evice with hid. (probably because of the user space
issue that dmotd mentioned).

How did you get that device list? Is it a print from hid? (the only things I
remember is lspci and lsusb)

Best regards to everyone, and big up to Hans-Christoph Steiner for hid and
linuxmouse,
Pedro
