touchpad and XOrg upgrade

Since upgrade i am facing a issue with the xorg synaptic driver. The synaptics speed is very slow and taps doesn't work. Following is my entry in xorg(I changed this according to wiki):

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "SynapticsTouchpad"  "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
