Does it make a difference if you use synaptics(4) as touchpad
input driver?

You can activate it by adding the following entry to
/etc/xorg.conf (if the file isn't present, simply create it
with these lines):

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "wsmouse touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    EndSection
