I have had the same problem and then I read the doc about the synaptics xorg's driver (/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics).

It seems that the information about the "CorePointer" and "AlwaysCore" options is useful to solve the problem. At the contrary, I don't use the information about the kernel module edev nor "syndaemon".

Good luck !
