Good news ahead! The newer versions of Fedora will have the synaptics 
driver configured into them via the system-config-display program.

I've been using the psmouse.proto=imps added to the grub.conf fle 
previously. Today, I was able to reconfig this to work with 
system-config-display --reconfig -- I had to edit the python script for 
s-c-display, but this is using the development programs. The next 
version should work correctly initially.

There are plans to also have system-config-mouse have the ability to set 
the advanced options later on, when time permits the development.

Meanwhile, adding psmouse.proto=imps to the grub.conf file worked pretty 
much the same. I'd like to say that using the synaptics driver available 
  from development works better. I don't see any improvements or 
regressions in using the driver over the grub.conf addition. There may 
be, but not overwhelming.

You might want to read the fedora-test-list archives for further 
discussions and information.
