I just noticed a few things.  First, my xorg.conf did not have anything 
about synaptic touchpad in it, so I tried adding it and X will not start 
with anything about the touch pad in xorg.conf.  I just had to repair X 
to get my desktop working again.  Also, in the wiki I read it mentioned 
altering shmconfig.fdi instead by doing the following:

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
   <match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
    <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
   </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>"

I did that and it did not seem to work for me.
