That's right, the synaptics driver is much better than the evdev driver
for touchpads, I've been installing it by default on all my systems for
years and it doesn't cause any problems.

since I've used an Nvidia graphics card but back then the nv driver
didn't work and nouveau did.

router/server and (although it doesn't work particularly well - Eg, no
DRI) the openchrome driver doesn't cause any problems on any of the
other systems.
