Bug Description
While syndaemon and synclient worked fine in Oneiric, I had to disable syndaemon in Precise because shortly after starting syndaemon (via ~/.xsession), the touchpad (and its buttons) stopped working, i.e. I had no more means to move the mouse cursor.
Commenting just the later synclient call in my .xsession didn't help, so it seems unrelated to the used settings. Pressing the F9 button to enable/disable the touchpad showed no effect either.
The very same configuration works fine on at least two Debian Sid netbooks (both ASUS EeePC, but different generations) and worked fine on the same hardware with Ubuntu Oneiric, so the source for this issue must be either the different hardware (Toshiba AC100, an ARM netbook) plus the newer package or some new difference between Ubuntu Precise (1.5.99.
Since all other "touchpad stopped working" bug reports claim that it happens more often with precise than with oneiric, I think this is another issue as it always worked with oneiric and never worked with precise in my case.
