Have checked sfs-load-on-the-fly 1.9.9 and it seems to work fine....
The utility for the touchpad is FlSynclient I believe,,,
On bootup of 5.2.8.6 my Synaptics touchpad "scrollbar" is disabled - when FlSynclient is run it detects the touchpad but puts up a message to say that an X-restart is needed - after X-restart the touchpad cursor movement reacts very sluggishly until FlSynclient is run again and the parameters are tweaked.
All of this seems to fully automatic in all the current Pups - Precise, Slacko, Upup etc. with a fully working and properly configured touchpad on initial boot.
Whether just an updated FlSynclient is needed or something else as well I'm not sure - maybe 01Micko could remember what changed?
[later] On further investigation it looks like a later version of Xorg would be needed to fix the touchpad problem - Precise has 1.11.3 whereas Lucid has 1.7.6....would guess this is a change too far for this exercise.
Cheers
