It would be very helpful to be able to replay events from an affected
device on a different computer. This is possible using utouch-evemu.
Please do the following:

1. $ sudo apt-get install utouch-evemu-tools
2. Determine the /dev/input/event* node for your synaptics trackpad
  - You can search for synaptics in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find the event node
3. Switch to a virtual terminal (VT) by pressing ctrl-alt-f1 or running $ sudo chvt 1
4. log in to the VT
5. $ sudo evemu-describe (insert event node here) > device.prop
6. $ sudo evemu-record (insert event node here) > device.record
7. Swipe a few times on the trackpad
8. Wait for evemu-record to finish
9. Switch back to X by pressing ctrl-alt-f7 or running $ sudo chvt 7 (If that doesn't work, try f8 or f9 or chvt 8 or chvt 9)

evemu-record will end when no activity has occurred for about 10
seconds. So after starting the recording, begin swiping within a few
seconds. Then wait until the process finishes.

Attach the device.prop and device.record files to this bug. Check to be
sure they

Thanks!
