Just to be sure I re-installed this morning from the daily live image. I
noticed that at the end of the installation process the CD gets ejected
when you confirm you want to reboot but then the reboot hangs. I tried
ctrl-alt-backspace as well as ctrl-alt-del but had to hard reset in the
end by holding the power button for 5 seconds.

After this the system starts up without apparent issues. However, my
synaptics touchpad still doesn't allow me to scroll or drag-and-drop.

If I want to run qsynaptics to configure my touchpad I need to enable it
in xorg.conf. When I create xorg.conf which is missing initially after
installation (see my first comment) it seems rather short and doesn't
contain a Touchpad section where I could insert >>Option
"SHMConfig"             "on"<<, which is required for qsynaptics to run.

I also found another thread of a bug that is about missing functionality of 
touchpads:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/173411

Maybe my issue falls under this bug rather than the hanging during re-
boot from installation and missing xorg.conf?

Either way, my touchpad doesn't work and I really really need it.  ;]
