FWIW, my Acer Laptop reports "Couldn't find synaptics properties.  No synaptics driver
loaded?" when using "synclient -l".  Yet my touchpad works just fine.  KDE has a setting
for disabling the touchpad, but it doesn't work. Lucky for me my laptop has a "Fn+F7" key
combination which turns off the touchpad hardware wise.
