This notes section seems to be about hal, but AFAIK configuration has
been moved to udev. Is horizontal and vertical scroll wheel emulation
supposed to be on by default?

They are drawn on the touchpad. I get mouse movement events instead
of scroll wheel events, as xev shows.

It is still there. AFAICS it is identical to the version in the source
package.

It said "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
According to the old Xorg.4.log file the synaptics driver wasn't loaded.
After reinstalling the driver _is_ found and synclient works (see the
new attachments), but there are still no scroll wheel events.
