Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

After an upgrade, the synaptics driver had zero filesize.
I think this is because my laptop died sometime during
an upgrade or after before ext4 synced.
I reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and now I get
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for ""SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad""

This is Lucid alpha 3.
