I'm not sure how the autoconfig work in recent xorgs but since the
synaptics driver is an out of tree driver I suspect xorg simply doesn't
know about it.
Can you provide your xorg log along with this bug report?

exactly, vertical and horizontal scrolling are enabled by default *iff*
the driver is uset for the touchpad. What I would expect from your log
is that the synaptics driver is not being used at all.
