Background -- Dell Inspiron laptop with Synaptics touchpad.  Running
current rawhide, but from updating off FC2.  Not a new install.  Not
even an upgrade install.  Just doing up2date daily and accepting
anything it presented.  I have been running with the v13.5 Synaptics
driver for a while.

I just added the import line, and then ran system-config-display --
reconfig.  Went out of X and then back.  My Synaptics touchpad has taps,
scrolls, pointer acceleration and everything else it used to have with
the Synaptics 13.5 driver module I had compiled from before.  It is a
little jumpy for my taste and it has the edges set in too close to the
center, so dragging a window or highlighting a block of text starts into
too much uncontrolled scrolling before I get things where I want them.

But when I look at the new generated xorg.conf (see below), I see a Load
"synaptics" entry in the Module list.  What synaptics is it loading?
The one I installed?  Or is there one built in now?  If it is the one I
installed, what happens to someone who has not installed this?

I'll have more questions after I get an answer on this, about trying to
feed some settings to make it behave a bit quieter.
