Actually the touchpad still disconnects, but I think this is a
hardware problem. For me is fixed, but I really really don't remember
if I put the lines

 <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
      <match key="info.product" contains="Synaptics TouchPad">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>

by myself on the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi or they
were added in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Anyway these lines fix the reconnection problem in my case.
Thanks
