It looks like this patch is already included in the current 
xf86-input-synaptics-1.1.2 (installed from port), isn't it?


In /var/log/Xorg.0.log i found:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.1.2
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Query no Synaptics: 000000
(--) Mouse0: no supported touchpad found
(EE) Mouse0 Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"


I just have tried Xubuntu 9.04 livesystem, which includes 
xf86-input-synaptics-0.99.3. The touchpad is found by the driver and 
works _with_ scrolling by default.

Here is the info (from Xubuntu):

 From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.99.3
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: x-axis range 0 - 1023
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: y-axis range 0 - 767
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: pressure range 0 - 127
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: finger width range 0 - 0
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: buttons: left right middle
(II) ALPS touchpad detected: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint. Applying

Hmm. Any chance to get this working on FreeBSD, too?
