synaptics touchpad stopped scrolling?

[Matt Price]

Hi,

for some reasoon my synaptics touchpad has recently stopped scrolling.
I did mess around with my xorg.conf a while ago, getting nvidia to work,
but I don't think that's the issue.  here's the relevant part of my
xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver         "synaptics"
    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option         "MinSpeed" "0.7"
    Option         "MaxSpeed" "3"
    Option         "AccelFactor" "0.025"
    Option         "SHMConfig" "1"
EndSection

Xorg.0.log doesn't seem to report any errors either: 
~$ grep -i synapt /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Synaptics Touchpad"
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.6 (1406)
(--) Synaptics Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event3
(--) Synaptics Touchpad touchpad found
(**) Synaptics Touchpad: always reports core events
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Synaptics Touchpad" (type:
MOUSE)
Synaptics DeviceInit called
SynapticsCtrl called.
Synaptics DeviceOn called
(--) Synaptics Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event3
(--) Synaptics Touchpad touchpad found
----------------
the change seems pretty sudden and I'm at a bit of a loss to diagnose
it.  any hints?  thanks,

matt
