Ah. I was looking on the wrong system - forgetting I was ssh'd into my
wife's system when I looked for the .fdi file :-)
$ cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using
the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->
<!-- EXAMPLES:
Switch on shared memory, enables the driver to be configured at
runtime
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
Maximum movement of the finger for detecting a tap
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapMove" type="string">2000</merge>
Enable vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
Enable vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on
the touchpad
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
Enable horizontal scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere
on the touchpad
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
If on, circular scrolling is used
<merge key="input.x11_options.CircularScrolling"
type="string">true</merge>
For other possible options, check CONFIGURATION DETAILS in synaptics
