What did your X server's log look like when you had manually added a 
section like

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
         Driver          "synaptics"
         Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
         Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
         Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
         Option          "HorizEdgeScroll"       "0"
EndSection

to xorg.conf? Does it complain that it can't find one?
