My guess is having the in 10-x11-input.fdi and 11-x11-synaptics.fdi 10
gets loaded before 11. In 10 you are specifing mouse as driver for
your touchpad so the touchpad uses this driver and the 11 file can not
overwrite that as the device already has a driver configured.

So you can either try to remove that input.touchpad section from
10-x11-input.fdi or replace it by the contents of
11-x11-synaptics.fdi.
