I got the same problem with MD 42200 (Medion), but only since the last update yesterday, which was only a few days after the previous update. My xorg.conf contains the appropriate section.

From Xorg.0.log:
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.6 (1406)
Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 18 nodes)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(**) Option "SHMConfig" "on"
(**) Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"

As I said, it worked for months, till yesterday.
