This is the touchpad on my laptop. I had to patch my kernel source with the patch (alps.patch) provided in the Synaptics source (http://freshmeat.net/projects/synaptics/).

I did not use this source for the XFree Synaptics driver, but i simply did apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics.
make sure you load the driver in Section “Module”:

Load  "synaptics"

and also in the Section “Serverlayout”:

InputDevice "ALPS Glidepoint" "CorePointer"

In my XFConfig file I’ve added this section:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "synaptics"
  Identifier    "ALPS Glidepoint"
  Option        "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
  Option        "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
  Option        "LeftEdge"              "120"
  Option        "RightEdge"             "830"
  Option        "TopEdge"               "120"
  Option        "BottomEdge"            "650"
  Option        "FingerLow"             "14"
  Option        "FingerHigh"            "15"
  Option        "MaxTapTime"            "180"
  Option        "MaxTapMove"            "110"
  Option        "EmulateMidButtonTime"  "75"
  Option        "VertScrollDelta"       "20"

  Option        "AccelFactor"           "0.015"
  Option        "EdgeMotionMinSpeed"    "200"
  Option        "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed"    "200"
  Option        "UpDownScrolling"       "1"
  Option        "LeftRightScrolling"    "1"
  Option        "CircularScrolling"     "1"
  Option        "CircScrollDelta"       "0.1"
  Option        "CircScrollTrigger"     "2"

When I’m happy with the rest of my X-Config, I’ll post the complete XF86config file.
