It's been working for me for ages ... in fact for years, I maintained a |

Never seen it cause a crash, ever. Are you sure synaptics caused your |
22 |
reset? Unless you have changed the defaults, last I checked, a linux |

kernel panic would not cause a hard reset, but a freeze (or what looks |
24 |
like one from an X11 gui). |
