Fix broken Touchpad Fedora 9

1. Login as root
2. Save this file as /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-synaptics.fdi
3. Save x11-input.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
4. Test your installation, run hal-device to obtain a list of all devices and look for the input.x11* keys.
5. Restart haldaemon
6. Update your xorg.conf to have the following

Section "ServerLayout"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection

Restart your X Windows once the above changes have been applied.

Even though the above steps are suggested as a workaround I feel it is a more elegant way of doing things and wont find a reason to deviate from the setup even if a solution is provided.
