laptop touchpad prob

I know it's discussed before, and I solved my touchpad tapping problem by installing synaptics driver & editing XF86Config. But this isn't the best solution for me. Now i have two mouse device definitions in XF86Config. Mouse[1] supports a real mouse, and also touchpad; but no tapping. Mouse[2] (synaptics) allows using touchpad correctly, but then i can't use the mouse. I can switch between them by editing XF86Config each time i need. - Is there a configuration which supports both touchpad & mouse? - If no, is there a better way to switch between these mouse definitions? (without needing to restart x server) Thanks in advance..
