This bug is fixed in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
0.14.7~git20070706-2.2, as far as I'm concerned.  The driver will be
loaded automatically if a touchpad is detected.  No xorg.conf
modification needed.  No non-default options are set, but I don't think
that should be a problem, you can play with xorg.conf for that if you
want.
