[SOLVED]Synaptics touchpad xorg.conf to HAL policy conversion

Hi!!
I'm using Dell Studio 1555. I configured my touchpad in xorg.conf, but i've read that configuration via HAL policy is recommended. Almost everything works fine, but I've got problem with edge scrolling. It doesn't work. Here is my xorg.conf and HAL policy:

#Section "InputDevice"
#

 #  #     Option          "SHMControl"            "true"              
 #      Option          "TapButton2"            "2"                
  #      Option          "TabButton3"            "3"                

#       Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"
#       Driver      "synaptics"
#       Option      "SendCoreEvents" "true"           
#       Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
#       Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"         
#       Option      "FastTaps" "true"              
#       Option      "VertEdgeScroll" "true"            
#       Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"              
#       Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
#       Option      "RightEdge" "5500"            
#       Option      "BottomEdge" "4500"              
#       Option      "MinSpeed" "0.1"               
#       Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.4"               
#       Option      "AccelFactor" "0.1"              
#       Option      "RTCornerButton" "2"
#       Option      "TapButton1" "1"               
#       Option      "CircularScrolling" "false"
#EndSection

        <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

How to make it work?
Thanks

I've found that i've got hotplugging disabled. It has probably been done by the aticonfig tool...
