I tried that, no joy. I tried copying in the "Synaptics" device, just
like in the previous xorg.conf, and also as settings inside
the "configured mouse". Neither made any difference.
I also discovered that while KDE will let me change the magnitude of
the scroll events, it will not allow me to turn them off. I cannot
set "scroll" to "0", only "1" or more.

Yet this is what is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.6 (1406)
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint auto-dev sets device
to /dev/input/event8
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint touchpad found
(**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: always reports core events
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
(type: MOUSE)
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint auto-dev sets device
to /dev/input/event8
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint touchpad found
so it seems that it is in fact getting loaded. The old configuration
is just being ignored.
