This seemed to be what I was looking for so My xorg.conf now contains

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver      "synaptics"
	Option	    "SendCoreEvents" "true"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/psaux"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto-dev"
	Option	    "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
	Option	    "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection

but when I try to switch the touchpad off I get the following

nigel@henry:~$ synclient TouchpadOff=3D1
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
nigel@henry:~$

anyone know why.

Note: I'm using Xubuntu 7.10

Cheers
Nigel
