I take it that you downloaded and installed the synaptics rpm from
rawhide. Is this true?
I don't know if s-c-display does not try to configure the mouse, if the
synaptics rpm is installed or not. I assume that it would not try to
add the driver, if synaptics is not installed.
s-c-display worked for me to configure the driver, but failed for some
apm interference and I am using acpi.
I went back to adding the psmouse.proto=imps option within the
grub.conf file. Are you still or have you ever used the
psmouse.proto=imps option in the boot stanza?
I ran the s-c-display while booted up w/o psmouse.proto=imps added. If
it is being used in grub.conf, this might be causing the problem.
If none of those situations apply, a bug report hunt/submittal might be
worthwhile.
