There are a few things required to make the xorg.conf work, which I figured out the hard way:

- Needs section "Module" with synaptics module to be loaded
- Needs SHMConfig set to "true" (not sure if "on" works) so that gsynaptics will start
- Needs ServerLayout section

I attached my new and improved xorg.conf as a guideline. I'd like to caution everyone trying this that I had to fix my xorg.conf several times in textmode (do you remember vi?) because my laptop wouldn't boot into graphical mode. Of course the easiest way is to keep a backup of the xorg.conf handy which has worked before so you don't have to dabble in vi.

I'm surprised it is actually working now...see attached:
