I added the line to loader.conf, and disabled moused, and the synaptics driver gets detected and used.  It actually helps with the jitteriness of the mouse quite a bit.

There's no virtual scrolling though.  Has that been added to the driver yet, or am I missing some config items?

I want to first fix Synaptics detection with the new Xorg stuff that uses the non-HAL hardware detection, but haven't had time yet (took on 2 pay jobs since volunteering to help).  Keep pinging me on it tho...I'd like Synaptics ClickPad support on my HP Envy Sleekbook as well.
