What mouse does it identify? Also, do you have kcm_touchpad module
installed?

[dtor@dtor-d630 ~]$ rpm -qa "kcm*touchpad*"
kcm_touchpad-0.3.1-6.fc15.x86_64
[dtor@dtor-d630 ~]$ locate kcm_touchpad.so
/usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_touchpad.so

It could but it most likely is as most distributions install and set up
synaptics X driver by default. I am not sure what DE Greg is using
though.
