Getting laptop touchpad recognised by Syndaemon

Actually, I'm looking for a way to disable tapping while I'm typing. Reading the wiki, seems to be best achieved through syndaemon. But...

$ syndaemon -t -i 2
Unable to find a synaptics device.

Hmm, thats weird.

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
....
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0063
N: Name="ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input8
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event8 
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

Now that is weird (no, I don't have an external mouse )

I've tried modifying 11-x11-synaptics.fdi and adding the device string, but that only resulted in no mouse at all. Where should I go next?

Thanks in advance

Re: Getting laptop touchpad recognised by Syndaemon

I dont know if you still need a solution but for me this did the trick:

Add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
options psmouse force_elantech=1
