Dieter:
Thank you, that did the trick.
I added options to keep the same feel of the old one.
Here's my config section for the synaptics in Xorg.conf, in case someone
else has the same problem:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/OTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event5"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "True"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
