Macbook Touchpad not working.

I think the model is MacBook 5.2, the specs match (Intel Core 2 Duo P7450, and Nvidia GeForce 9400M, 2gb RAM) i've installed i686 version of arch and completely erased OS X.

Anyways i tried reading up on the wiki and it's not working out for me.

I've installed xf86-input-synaptics, which did not work. (The only thing that will work is the left click)

i uninstalled it and installed xf86-multitouch-git instead. Same result.

Does anyone have an idea how i can make this blasted thing work? am i missing a kernel driver or something?

Additional info: the mouse will partially work if i delete 50-synaptics.conf from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ however it will be a major pain to use it, it'll move and the left button will work though. right click not so much.

If i use gpointing-device-settings it will give me:

An X error occured. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom Parameter)+

It repeates the error i think twice if the config file is in its place, however if its been removed it gives it 17 times.
