[Bug 132627] Re: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.

[kronictokr]

if you used another computer to install your os on an external hard drive, or changed any physical components of your computer, and you are having a hard time with your SMHconfig, or touch pad.
use this command in terminal, it worked great for me

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

and heres my xorg.conf file for comparison
