Description of problem: The latest xorg update broke the synaptics driver. X can't start any more when the driver is used because of unresolved symbols.
These are the error the X server reports: Symbol __errno_location from module /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o is unresolved!

I tried recompiling the srpm but that didn't work.
I can confirm this is a problem with synaptics-0.14.4-5 - X fails to start and I get the same messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Downgrading to synaptics-0.14.4-4-4.2.1 fixes the problem.
Fixed in rawhide.
