Comment(by dsaxena):

 My guess on this is that the EC code is written to handle standard PS/2
 protocol and when we enable Synaptics mode, the extra data is confusing
 it/getting treated as erroneous. (I could be wrong as I've not seen the EC
 code). It could also be on kernel side and I can take a look there. pgf,
 can you run with debxo kernel and look at what the EC is doing with the
 data stream?
