It seems then that HAL picks up your touchpad and uses it. So, # touch /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi and paste this in it: synaptics true 2000 true 1 1 Then see the examples in the file and man synaptics for finely tuning your= =20 touchpad. However ... I would at this stage suggest again that you have a= =20 look at xorg-server-1.9.x instead of trying to get HAL working.
