>(EE) Failed to load module "synaptics"

Affected Kernel options are input_evdev, input_mousedev, input_mouse, 
input_ps2.

Load the modules evdev, mousedev, psmouse (/etc/modules).

Package: xfree86-driver-synaptics (Synaptics TouchPad driver for 
X.Org/XFree86 server).

Edit your xorg-config file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

Then add to the section “ServerLayout”
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
and disable any other pointer devices. After restarting the X-Server you 
should have a working touchpad. Now you may change the settings using the 
program „synclient“.

Note: If you run the driver with an enabled SHMConfig option, every user on 
your system can disable or reconfigure the touchpad. After you found your 
settings, you should disable SHMConfig.
