You should also have a section in the xorg.conf file that looks like this:
Section "ServerLayout"

        # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet
        #       InputDevice     "stylus"        "SendCoreEvents"
        #       InputDevice     "cursor"        "SendCoreEvents"
        #       InputDevice     "eraser"        "SendCoreEvents"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen         "Default Screen" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"
    InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad" #the important line is obviously this 
one, add it to yours ServerLayout section if it's missing.
EndSection

Try issuing this command to see if the synaptics xorg module is loaded:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log  | grep synaptics
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

If it's loaded, try to install the gsynaptics package which provides an
utility to configure the touchpad under system->preferences. Then try to
enable the scrolling

Did you installed Hardy or you upgraded it from gutsy?
