Bug Description

Dapper flight 4: the generated xorg.conf does not get a synaptics section. Therefore, features like scrolling don't work.

This is a Compaq Presario 700. From dmesg:
[4294690.452000] input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input1
[4294690.993000] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.6, id: 0x9d44b1, caps: 0x904713/0x4006[4294691.029000] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input2

This is the generated one. If I add a section like this, everything works fine:

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

with this added to the "ServerLayout" section:
        InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
