[Solved]Touchpad problems with T60

The three buttons above my touch pad stopped working some time back(I think After an xorg upgrade) .
I thought it be a issue with new xorg and waited for next xorg update and found that the problem is still there after multiple upgrades,  it never worked. And I am using the buttons below the touch pad.
Today I found that the joystick also is not working.

Is anybody else facing this probelm?

Can somebdy who is not seeing this issue please post your xorg.xonf , I will try that on my T60?

Including sections from my xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"

Re: [Solved]Touchpad problems with T60

The major xorg upgrade a while back changed some of the syntax. I have a T60 that's working fine now with

        InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0"   "SendCoreEvents"

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "LeftEdge" "1700"
        Option      "RightEdge" "5300"
        Option      "TopEdge" "1700"
        Option      "BottomEdge" "4200"
        Option      "FingerLow" "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed" "0.06"
        Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
        Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

I don't use a joystick, but this does work for an external mouse anyway
