Did you try the copy of 50-synaptics.conf?  It isn't clear from what you've said....

The fact that it contains:

        Driver "synaptics"

and that there is a...

/lib/modules/3.3.4-1.fc16.i686/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.ko

file suggests this would be a likely driver whose specific loading may be promising.
