Comment 16 for bug 754470

It would be helpful if someone could get a backtrace of syndaemon while it's stuck. First, install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dbgsym. To install it, do one of the following:

* Enable the ddebs repository:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ natty main
  $ sudo apt-get update
  Install the package:
  $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dbgsym
Or
* Install the package manually from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/

Now, when syndaemon gets stuck, do the following:

Determine the PID of syndaemon (there's probably a better way, but this works):
$ ps x | grep syndaemon | grep -v grep | cut -f 1 -d ' '
Use gdb on the process
$ gdb /usr/bin/syndaemon <PID>
Inside gdb, run the command "backtrace". Copy the output and paste it here.

Thanks!
