Hi, I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but just in case... I discovered I had 2 instances of "syndaemon" running all the time. Once I got rid of the instance that was started up from my "autostart" folder, all seems to work ok.
I had added it to that folder myself a couple releases back but I guess now in the current release it gets installed and started automatically so it's no longer necesary to do it myself. At least this seems to have solved my particular issue.

I have a small script to configure it which is run when my session starts, and those parameters are applied fine without problem. Here is the script, in case something in there might be relevant : #!/bin/sh synclient FingerLow=9 FingerHigh=12 synclient MinSpeed=2.0 MaxSpeed=4.0 AccelFactor=0.1 synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1 HorizTwoFingerScroll=0 synclient CoastingSpeed=10 CoastingFriction=25 synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 synclient EdgeMotionMinZ=30 EdgeMotionMaxZ=40 EdgeMotionMinSpeed=100 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed=400 synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=5 PalmMinZ=1 #must restart syndaemon to set those params. killall syndaemon syndaemon -i 1 -t -K -d The issue is that after a while, some features of the touchpad stop working. They include tapping (one-two-three fingers) and two-finger scrolling. The clickpad functions are still working. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact issue yet. I have encountered this issue with many kernels, including 3.4.0-rc6 kernel and the one in this report.
