if it's a touchscreen, it's best to run evdev against it, not synaptics.
evtouch - don't know what the current state of it is tbh.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration has some info on
how to configure that provided you're running 1.7.
The Xorg.log would be quite useful, btw, it seems to be the only log missing
from your email :)
