Comment 44 for bug 1026777

Just confirming that there have been no crashes for me after reverting the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics version and locking it in synaptic package manager as well (advice from other bug #32 linked to above).

The other workarounds that have the trackpad seen as a basic ps2 mouse limit the functionality of the trackpad. But simply reverting the version has solved the crashes. So as suggested by jmalter, it does seem to be a regression in the current version.
