It _is_ the synaptics toch pad, but I get strange results from gmp.
When I "configure" gmp, and choose ps2 and /dev/psaux, the mouse works
during the "test period" but doesn't work after the configuration exits.
Any ideas?

/proc/pci report the card as "Neomagic MagicGraph NM2160 (rev 1)"
When I use your config file, it hangs with a grey screen. The last line
reported by the server is:
(--)SVGA: Generic Speedups Selected (flags=0x30)
and nothing more occurs.
If I stroke the keypad during this phase, I get lots of graphic "splatter"
on the screen (stacked lines of blue, green, and white, with small black
separators that move and twitch as I stroke the mouse, so, I guess the
mouse works ;-)
