Hi stable kernel team! According to Greg there is a patch pending for fixing an issue in the synaptics driver (see below for details). Yes, please include this patch into the next stable kernel release! Me and quite a number of other users are suffering from the problem this patch does address and the problems are over and over reported and discussed e.g. on the linux-input and x.org list (and others maybe too). Thank you!
