Excellent! It seems then that HAL picks up your touchpad and uses it.
So,
# touch /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
and paste this in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapMove" type="string">2000</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ClickButton1" type="string">1</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
man page
-->
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Then see the examples in the file and man synaptics for finely tuning your
touchpad. However ... I would at this stage suggest again that you have a
look at xorg-server-1.9.x instead of trying to get HAL working.
HTH.
