Just thought I'd post this so others will know. I had decided to install
the synaptics driver (binery version) and had some problems. After checking
the logs i noted that the binary version is compiled for Xfree version 4.2
and up. So all of you that have anything less, dont try the binaryd driver.
And now I have to figure out how to upgrade my xfree to 4.2 or 4.3, ah well
a nerds work never ends :)
