synaptics touchpad works fine on my acer travelmate with 2.6.12 kernel and xorg @ testing (i'm using the synaptics module in xorg). i don't recall any problems, even before using synaptics module in xorg. just worked as an ordinary mouse, iirc. i am not sure about the kernel config, the only thing related to *TOUCH* i could find is
CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN=y
that is recognized as
ts: Compaq touchscreen protocol output
however i don't know whether it's relevant in this case or not.

dmesg:
0x80471b/0x0Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 4.6, id: 0x925ea1, caps: 0x80471b/0x0

xorg (please note that module for synaptics provided by xfree86 is used; i realized it just now, but it works fine):

relevant part of xorg.conf (the device is detected by auto-dev):
