I'm also having this problem...
I have SHMConfig enabled in xorg.conf but when I execute syndaemon I get
the following
t...@asus-m51sn:~$ syndaemon -d -i 1 -t -k
X Error of failed request: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (XInputExtension)
NOTE:These are the comments from a duplicate bug report. Complete with
patch.
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
syndaemon in Intrepid was able to function without SHMConfig. This
functionality is gone in Jaunty with 0.99.3-1ubuntu1 when
104_syndaemon_xinput_props.patch was
I'm also having this bug on 64-bit Jaunty. Well, it's been there since

This bug is desperately unloved. I imagine that I can apply the
workaround mentioned above, as in the past, to enable SHMConfig - but I
have been labouring under the apprehension that enabling SHMConfig would
no longer be a prerequisite of using syndaemon. Is this a
misapprehension?

Syndaemon
Yeah, but isn't that just a workaround as it is supposed to work
without the settings in xorg.conf now?
On my Jaunty daily-live 20090306 with all updates applied, I still have the
same error (not doing anything in my xorg.conf):
X Error of failed request: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized
Here are all the details in one place. First, you need to enable the
evil SHMConfig for the touchpad. xorg.conf below. Restart x. Then -S
option (not in the man page for syndaemon, but visible with -h) works.
$ syndaemon -i 0.5 -t -S -d
works.

This bug is also present in Jaunty, on x86_64:
:~$ syndaemon -d -t
X Error of failed request: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
Major opcode of failed request: 144 (XInputExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_OpenDevice)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Strange. The version 0.15.2-0ubuntu7, which came a week or so over some
updates, does introduce the error again, while reinstalling
0.15.2-0ubuntu7~wgrant3 fixes it.

In the above mentioned forum thread, William Grant points out that It
is a massive security risk to enable SHMConfig.
For me, 'syndaemon -i 0.5 - S -d' results in the same error, ' syndaemon
-i 0.5 -S -d' produces 'Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig
disabled?'.

Have you run with -S (Enabling SHMConfig) ? I'm unaware of the
downsides of this method, but it fixed the issue for me. Your new
command would simply look something like:
'syndaemon -i 0.5 - S -d'
