    Angry synaptics driver installation problem from source

    Hi, I am having troubles launching the synaptics dirver module after manually compiling it from source code. Here are the steps I have performed:

    I have downloaded the source package for synaptics driver from here Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- in...iver-synaptics. I have removed original xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package. I installed all of the dependencies and successfully ran the .configure && make and sudo make install command - no errors. However, upon restarting X, the oputput of /var/log/Xorg.0.log is the following


    Code:
    (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
    
    (WW) Warning, couldn't open module synaptics
    (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
    (EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0)
    (II) LoadModule: "record"
    The module fails to load. My xorg configuration file seems correct (I attached it here just in case). I am stumbled at this point. The readme says that I can start X with additional debugging messages - with the following command :startx -- -logverbose 8 , but I am not sure where and when to run this command.
