Configuring Synaptics touchpad (new Xorg again)

Hi

I'm one of those who upgraded to the latest Xorg recently. Now I can't figure out how to configure my touchpad scrolling.

I don't have hal running (but only dbus).
I have all the default Xorg config files intact (10-evdev, 10-quirks, 10-synaptics).

I have added a file called 20-conf.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "touchpad catchall"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  Driver "synaptics"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
  Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
  Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
  Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
  Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "tap-by-default"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection

Xorg.0.log seems fine except for the following:

[    32.158] Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
[    32.158] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: no supported touchpad found
[    32.158] (EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
[    32.197] (EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
[    32.197] (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"

Now I'm stuck! Please, help...
