You were correct about it using the synaptics driver, and that is all
that matters really. Actually, this is what mine says too (although
mouse1 and event2 instead).

You should make a file in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory to put the
rules in. I named mine 40-personal.rules. In that file place this
line:
BUS="serio", SYSFS{description}="i8042 Aux-3 Port", KERNEL="event?",
SYMLINK="input/TouchPad"
You might need to change the SYSFS{description} as it does change
sometimes. Just look at /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio3/description for
what it should be if it doesn't work. Mine has 4 serio devices each
getting an event (0-3) and then a fourth serio device which is my
keboard. So in your case the serio3 may be different. After you place
that line in, all you have to do is restart udev. Then you can go to
/dev/input and see where TouchPad is symlinked.

I have not used ifplugd at all. I was planning to look into it soon
though. What I do is just have both net.eth0 and net.wlan0 start on
boot-up and have a timeout of 5 and 10 respectively. For me that is
enough time for both of them to connect and isn't too horrible if
neither connect. The newest baselayout and its real parallel startup
would make this much better, but I haven't messed with it yet.

Well, you are probably running an x86 or amd64 keyworded system.
Firefox 1.5 is currently "unstable." It is probably safe to get it
though, however it may break some things (such as Epiphany). To get it
just add "www-client/mozilla-firefox ~x86" to
/etc/portage/package.keywords. If you are running an actual 64bit
system change that ~x86 to ~amd64. Not that as that line is written,
your firefox will always used the most up-to-date. This may be
bothersome (because there have been 9 revesions so far and you would
end up recompiling firefox for each revesion as it came out), so you
may want to use the line "=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5-r9 ~amd64"
so it will give you the current revision of 1.5. I would do the first
one personally though.

I would say that MaxTapTime and MaxTapMove may be too high. I can't
look at my settings right now, but I will do so and get back to you.
