No errors in the xorg.conf. However, I see that your initial error was reported as a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586025 The maintainer indicated that the required steps are described in /usr/share/doc/gsynaptics/README.Debian. If you find that your answer is not there, I would provide feedback to the bug report.
