Bug#372692: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: doesn't load options from xorg.conf

[Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se>]

I can confirm this problem in the freedesktop git tree. These are my
observations:

If running a touchpad driver such as appletouch or bcm5974, simply
reload the driver using rmmod and modprobe. The result will be that
synclient -l is unchanged, whereas the actual parameters affecting
the driver has changed to the defaults in the synaptics.c source code.
For instance, if you have two-finger scrolling set in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, and reload the driver, synclient -l will still
say two-finger scrolling is on, but it will not work.

The output of synclient -l and the real effect on the driver are
evidently not always the same, which is a big red flag. I have looked
a bit at the code, but still no luck.
