I have a very similar laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M1439G) - same problems
including non detection exactly as FriedChicken described it and the nvidia
driver incompatibility. Thanks to Zeppe, who put me on the right track, I have
gotten the trackpad working. Essentially after using his InputDevice section,
Xorg detected the pad but then wouldn't react to my finger.
I then removed (almost) all his options, installed gsynaptics (it wouldn't
start before but now works....), and was able in increase the sensitivity until
my finger was detected. It is working well now. My device section from xorg is
very trimmed:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection
note: in the ServerLayout Section I added the line:
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
Hope that solves it for you too friedchicken,
-Peter
