I had a similar issue when I upgraded xorg last where my synaptic touch
pad completely stopped working. I later found it was because I had
previously been using evdev rather than the actual synaptics driver.
I've included my currently working synaptics section of my xorg.conf,
maybe it'll work for you. Be warned, you may have to tweak the scroll
speed, I've mine set to something most call insane. Also, I'm using the
xf86-input-synaptics-1.0.0 driver.
