Add sth like this:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "True"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizTwoFigerScroll" "True"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "True"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Adjust it to your needs... Google for xorg.conf synaptic..
