1: Make sure you are using the synaptics driver on your /dev/psaux device in
xorg.conf.
2: Make sure your touchpad has shared memory on in the device section.
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
3a: If you want to control the touchpad via the console, install the
synaptic tools package ( or driver package ).
Try to run this in a virtual console:
# turn off
$ synclient touchpadoff=1
# turn on
$ synclient touchpadoff=0
3b: Install the "ksynaptics" application for KDE.
Hope that helps ^_^
Cheers,
