Name isn't crucial if in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. 50-synaptics.conf should be fine. 05-input.conf should do just as well. /etc/X11/xorg.conf should work too, but you don't want overlap between /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* trying to control the same device - you might wind up with everything being ignored. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
