Appletouch not being recognized as Synaptics

[glitch003]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, please move it or tell me where to move it if it's not the correct one.

Hi, I'm trying to change some of the config options for my MacbookPro3,1 touchpad. I added the relevant lines in my Xorg.conf file but I'm getting an error that no synaptics touchpad is recognized and then the module is unloaded. This is the error:

[  2040.578] (**) Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
[  2040.578] (**) Option "AccelFactor" "0.02"
[  2040.598] (EE) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
[  2040.598] (--) Synaptics Touchpad: no supported touchpad found
[  2040.598] (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
[  2040.600] (EE) PreInit returned 11 for "Synaptics Touchpad"
[  2040.600] (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
[  2040.600] (II) Unloading synaptics

I know it's an appletouch and not a Synaptics trackpad but on the appletouch driver site it says I should be able to configure it using the synaptics driver: (google for appletouch driver, i'm not allowed to post links yet)

Here's my xorg.conf file in case this helps at all. I created it by copy-pasting the synaptics secton from the appletouch driver site I posted above into my default xorg.conf. Thanks in advance!!

I had the problem solved by a user on another forum (justlinux.com). Here is the fix for anyone else who may come across this forum post in google or whatever.

I'm not sure what all has changed with your setup, whether or not you've only changed your xorg.conf...
In my case, xorg-server and a few other things were updated and required the addition of a section "InputClass" at the end of my current working xorg.conf. (I have the MBP previous to yours, with an ATI card - works great again...)
