Yes, that was my original complaint, too. Though, by now, I'd forgotten
which package it was that lacking that crucial info, having gone through
about three different things related to controlling the touchpad.
An example xorg.conf file, notice my ### comments:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
### above line had to be added to enable controlling the touchpad
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# keyboard added by rhpxl
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
### This section was added to control the touchpad
### see http://satyajitranjeev.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/fedora-9-and-touchpads/
### see http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=200840
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
### the above option for letting SHMConfig play with settings
Option "TapButton1" "0"
Option "TapButton2" "0"
Option "TapButton3" "0"
#Option "TouchpadOff" "2"
Option "ClickFinger1" "0"
Option "ClickFinger2" "0"
Option "ClickFinger3" "0"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
Option "MaxTapMove" "0"
Option "PalmDetect" "on"
Option "FastTaps" "off"
### various options being tried out here in this EXPERIMENT, you do not want all of them
