What happens if you don't have a synaptics driver and you have this 
problem?  I have a thinkpad notebook that I tried to upgrade from 
xfree86 to xorg and it dies on this 'EE' in the log.

The sucky part is that for some reason, I can't get the xfree86 version 
installed back on this box.  It just doesn't want to build the file 
/etc/X11/XFree86Config-4 (or whatever it's called, from memory)
