Synaptics trackpad problem

[Robin Becker]

I'm trying to get XORG setup on my acer laptop with 6.2 release. Things 
are fine except I cannot get the trackpad to work; x starts, but the 
mouse is frozen. I have had pcbsd on the same machine and the mouse 
worked there, but not as a trackpad.

Any help appreciated
