On notebook it can happen that the touchpad hardware is disabled with function key and can be enabled. On my system (Acer TM 5730G) the touchpad looks unrecognised (`synclient -l` fails) until I enable it with Fn+F7. xserver finds it and loads the synaptics driver, `synclient -l` shows configuration afterwards.

It would be nice when synaptiks enables its functionality when the input device is added. It would be nice when the "Touchpad not found" message could be disabled with a check-box "Don't show next time" too.
