I'm sorry I forgot to update this thread. There is no problem in the kernel, this bug must be closed.
The problem was that I was using the default xorg config file and that file didn't had an entry for the synaptic driver. As soon as I modified the xorg.conf and added the synaptic driver everything worked fine. Thanks a lot, and once again, I'm sorry I forgot to report this was fixed.
