A couple of possibilities:

Check out /etc/X11/xorg.conf it should contain something like:

Section "Module"
       Load    "GLcore"
       Load    "bitmap"
       Load    "dbe"
       Load    "ddc"
       Load    "dri"
       Load    "extmod"
       Load    "freetype"
       Load "glx"
       Load "int10"
       Load "record"
       Load "speedo"
       Load "type1"
       Load "vbe"
       Load "synaptics"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
       Driver "keyboard"
       Option "CoreKeyboard"
       Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
       Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
       Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
                                                                                                                                                               Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier "Configured Mouse"
       Driver "mouse"
       Option "CorePointer"
       Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
       Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
       Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
       Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

# Section # "InputDevice"
       # Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
       # Driver "synaptics"
       # Option                "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
       # Option                "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
       # Option                "Protocol" "auto-dev"
       # Option                "TapButton1" "0"
# EndSection

Make sure the relevant modules are installed.
