Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I just upgraded my natty system:

x11-common (1:7.6~3ubuntu11) to 1:7.6+4ubuntu1
xorg (1:7.6~3ubuntu11) to 1:7.6+4ubuntu1
xserver-common (2:1.10.0-0ubuntu2) to 2:1.10.0-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg (1:7.6~3ubuntu11) to 1:7.6+4ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-core (2:1.10.0-0ubuntu2) to 2:1.10.0-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-dev (2:1.10.0-0ubuntu2) to 2:1.10.0-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-input-all (1:7.6~3ubuntu11) to 1:7.6+4ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu8) to 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu9

Installed the following packages:

Now, X11 crashes every time I touch/use my synaptics touchpad. Backtrace:
