Btw: I forgot to tell that this line must be added to "/boot/loader.conf".

AFAIR it does not switch it completely off. But it disables the mode 
"double-click-and-hold-to drag". As I got used to it and the two up/down 
buttons only performed continuous quick scrolling, not step-by-step, the 
"synaptics" mode was nearly useless for me and I switched it off again.
