From last system upgrade my synaptics touchpad driver's stopped working properly. The pointer is still working but other options like edge-scroll stopped working since last upgrade.
I tried to reinstall them but nothing changed. I read ALL old discussions in this and in other forums, but nothing worked to me. This is the error:
synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
here some log and settings infos:
