Comment 44 for bug 943880

I was curious about the dialog i receive often about some internal error after startup, or while using the system, and looked at the details. After that i found this bug.

The fact that in the last comments the touchpad is mentioned, and the base report is loenovo x220 related, I can only provide a litte bit as addition:

Current system with the latest updates:
Linux x220i 3.2.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15 10:48:16 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The synaptics package is:
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.6.2-1ubuntu1~precise2

The syndaemon is running with params:
syndaemon -i 2.0 -K -R -t

And the most important info, i have totally disabled my touchpad for 5 months at least , because i am full satisfied with the trackpoint since i used it with IBM thinkpads for decades. So the touchpad is disabled at boot every time.

Do i need the syndaemon if i never want to use the touchpad? That would be at least for only me(!) a possible workaround.

I also think the crash notification comes more frequently after i use an external monitor and disconnect it (before or after shutdown does not matter), and boot next time without the external monitor.

I hope this helps.
