Yes.

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier "SynapticsMouse1"
     Driver "synaptics"
     Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

Ahhh bingo:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event2
         No such file or directory.
(WW) SynapticsMouse1: cannot open input device
couldn't enable device 2
(II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded


Now what to do I wonder... as /dev/input/event2 does actually exist.. I 
wonder if it's a timing thing?
