Scrolling stopped working after Xorg update, already disabled hotplug

Heres my xorg file, everything works except for twofinger scrolling, circular scrolling, and regular scrolling. All three worked before the update. Also, gsynaptic will not open. It gives me the following error:

GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics

But as you can see, I already have SHMConfig set to true. Help

Re: Scrolling stopped working after Xorg update, already disabled hotplug

please have a look at wiki touchpad. you'll find what you want.

I read the wiki numerous times, but its still not working for me. For scrolling, I added

 
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"         #vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge.
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"        #horizontal scrolling when dragging along the bottom edge.

like is said but its still not working. And I thought that whole .fdi thing was only used if you have hotplugging enabled?
