I emerged synaptics and followed the instructions of the INSTALL when adding to my xorg.config file, but i cannot get the touchpad to work.

My xorg is:
Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "SynapticsMouse" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"

                Depth     24
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection


I've tried
Code:

cat /dev/input/eventX

where x = 0 or 1 or 2, and moving my touchpad but I do not get anything.

My /var/log/Xorg.0.log files reads (for the synaptics section):
Code:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.13.3
SynapticsMouse no synaptics event device found (checked 4 nodes)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) SynapticsMouse no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) SynapticsMouse Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynapticsMouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"


My system is a Compaq 3240 running kernel 2.6.7 and a 64bit version of gentoo. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
