Hello Tobias, I'm using a HP laptop, and I use the touchpad without issue, I will try to write a little summary of what is needed.
I had to add moused_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, as suggested on https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/user/asuseee900/ (moused_enable="YES" #this is needed for keyboard and touchpad support) Then for the synaptics touchpad specific part refer to the psm manpage (https://man.dragonflybsd.org/?command=psm§ion=ANY) specifically the LOADER TUNABLES section that I'm copying in this message : > Extended support for Synaptics touchpads can be enabled by setting > hw.psm.synaptics_support to 1 at boot-time. This will enable psm to > handle packets from guest devices (sticks) and extra buttons. > > Tap and drag gestures can be disabled by setting hw.psm.tap_enabled to 0 > at boot-time. Currently, this is only supported on Synaptics touchpads > with Extended support disabled.

I have the following (as I wanted to disable tapping, the problem is that you can't disable tapping without disabling scrolling :/) hw.psm.synaptics_support=0 hw.psm.tap_enabled=0 I take the opportunity to mention that there are many tips regarding laptops at https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/user/DragonFlyOnLaptops/, even if one has to browse the different models pages to find the relevant pieces of information.
