This has nvidia lines in it which you may not need - but the main
points are that there is a new line in serverlayout to define the touchpad

and there is a whole new section for the touchpad inputdevice with its
defined parameters...

If you have never messed with this before then make sure you keep a
backup of your existing xorg.conf.... change the lines you need, then
go to a new VT and logon as root... and restart X by doing
# telinit 3
return to the VT where root is logged in and 
# telinit 5
Then login again and see if it works as you want.... if not then change 
the parameters in xorg.conf and try again - if completely messed up then
copy back your original xorg.conf and restart X -
