A second option that will work if you only need basic touchpad support
(i.e. you don't need the Synaptics-specific features) is to add the
following as a boot argument:

psmouse.proto=imps

I added it to my grub.conf, so that the argument is passed at boot-time.

Works fine on my Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop, YMMV.
