Not sure, I need to look at the Gnome tool to see if it is device aware.
It may be possible the preferences you have changed impact your session.
If things aren't working please bugzilla under the synaptics component.

versions and run system-config-display --reconfig to pickup the
touchpad.

Built-in.
