I added that line in my xorg.conf (attached) under the section that
said "mouse"

synclient still says:
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
yum says I have this package installed:
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics.x86_64
1.4.0.901-1.fc15 @fedora
The only packages yum finds that match "*synapt*" are the above and
the related *-devel package.
What next? Thanks!
Take care
