i had the sam problem with a new version of the synaptics driver....
try to get this: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/files/
the 0.12.5
for me works great
the edit the XF86Config file by adding in the input device section
Driver    "Synaptics"

this is my full XF86Config

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
