I've noticed the "Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found" in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log as well while I was trying to get the Synaptics
mouse pad on my Toshiba Satellite 5200 to work properly (it seems that
after having upgraded to Feisty - in beta as of today - the mouse
pointer on my machine likes to jump nine times out of ten like it used
to in earlier Edgy versions whenever my finger touches the pad too far
off center - the direction it jumps on the screen corresponds with the
offset of my finger from the pad center which can drive you crazy).

I've uninstalled KSynaptics after attempts it would help me fix the
jumpy mouse pointer had failed and my mental sanity was endangered.
Ksynaptics kept reporting annoying error messages about missing
SHMConfig setting despite it's included in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
  Driver "synaptics"
  option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
  option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
  option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
  option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
  option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

Since it's been around for a while I strongly suggest to have this
bug/feature looked at. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ferd
