It is the package I expect. However if I change the primary input device (i.e. 
mouse0) in my xorg.conf file to use the synaptics driver via:

Driver      "synaptics"

then the mouse does not work at all however if I use :

Driver      "mouse"

then it works. This makes me suspect the synaptics driver is not loaded.

Thoughts ?
