[newbie] Touchpad Synaptics Driver Not Loading Properly

[Marc Resnick]

I set up my touchpad so tapping would work in the 2.6 kernel not too 
long ago. It still worked fine when I upgraded to 10.0, but then when I 
went from 2.6.2 to 2.6.3, it stopped working. I fixed the XF86-Config 
and it worked again. Then, it suddenly stopped. I have the synaptics 
driver installed and all. Here's my XF86-Config:

   # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
   # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server 
independent of
   # the X server to render fonts.

doesn't work

Does anyone see any reason as to why it shouldn't work?
