Bug Description
I have a DV9700 laptop with a Synaptics touchpad, and periodically in Gutsy, the scroll functionality (the bars on the bottom row and far right) will give out.
Relevant lines from /var/log/messages:

So far I cannot reproduce this bug at will, I believe it to be a driver issue that may be dependant on hardware conditions I am as yet unaware of.

Forgot to mention, this is fixed if I kill X or restart GDM. Attached is my X log, the only really relevant part is the last six lines or so.
