Try changing the device to /dev/input/mice for the mouse driver. I think
the synaptics driver has to use the event interface.
Thanks,

xorg-x11-7.0 is still not working with the synaptics driver but it is
working with this config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "mymouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "150"
EndSection
I've tried specifying:
Option "Protocol" "event"
along with:
Driver "synaptics"
without success. I always get the following error:
(EE) Failed to load the module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No input matching 'synaptics'
I do have:
