I use a small skript to get my touchpad doing what it should:

synclient LockedDrags=1 PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=200  RightEdge=5340 VertTwoFingerScroll=1 HorizTwoFingerScroll=0 VertEdgeScroll=0  CoastingSpeed=0 LeftEdge=1800 TopEdge=1900 CircularScrolling=1 CircScrollDelta=0.2 CircScrollTrigger=3 TapButton1=1 TapButton3=3 TapButton2=2 &
syndaemon -i 1.3 -d -t -R -k

And when running synclient everything looks fine. But when I try to scoll, or tap nothing happens. Even after running killall syndaemon nothing happens. Has anybody an idea? I also have a trackpoint.

edit: One problem is: It worked at some point on my system (wich I installed just yesterday= but then something changed and I don't know what and since then it doesn't work any more.

edit2: Here's the xorg-log part about touchpads: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1042995/

edit3: I think I found the problem: When not using the tp-kernel from ppa:linrunner/thinkpad-extras the problem does not exist. So it will be a problem with this version of the kernel. But how to fix it with this kernel?

i badly want to revert back...plz help – Nirmik Jun 15 '12 at 21:41
sorry. syndeamon can be killed as shown. And I thinkfor synclient are only the 2 possibilities to restart, or to change all the values back to how you want them. – pirad Jun 15 '12 at 21:50
but i dont know the default values! can u help me? – Nirmik Jun 15 '12 at 21:51
sorry was offline. Will depend on your settings. CircularScrolling=0 is normal. And I think VertTwoFingerScroll=0 PalmDetect=0 could also be preset. Perhaps trying to turn the touchpad off an on again (if you have a shortcut) could also help - I don't really know. – pirad Jun 16 '12 at 7:28
