bah. lucky bugger, I'm one of the people who have the issue of Synaptics support being detected, but not being there. I had to remove Synaptics support from the kernel to make things work. :-/
In the kernel I used there was no synaptics option, but there was in the mm-sources which I am not currently using.
What i did was set the mouse driver to "synaptics", the protocol to "event", and the device to "/dev/input/event0". This works like a charm.
cat /dev/input/eventX to find out which event interface to use. None of the mouse movements registered in the /dev/input/mice metadevice. Maybe the synaptics option fixes this, but why bother when this works perfectly fine.
