Dapper Upgrade, Synaptic Touchpad is Broken.

[Darryl Clarke]

Hi,

I just finished doing a dist-upgrade on my laptop to Dapper and all
went well (that I can tell so far) except for my touchpad is no longer
working the way it used to (double click, dragging, etc.)

I found this:
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module synaptics
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
(EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0)

in the Xorg log file.

I used to use the package xorg-driver-synaptics, but
According to launchpad[1], this package was removed from Dapper on Feb 04.

Does anybody know an alternative to get my touchpad working the way it
used to, or if this package will actually return to Dapper?
