There seems to have been an earlier problem where psmouse loading prior to synaptics would prevent synaptics from loading:

A temporary workaround was to blacklist psmouse and load the module after boot from rc.local

I checked the loaded modules and it does look like synaptics is not loading, so maybe this issue has been around for awhile.
