I screwed up and lost my touchpad setting for my Dell 1545 Laptop. I have deleted all the files I can find that affects it and reinstalled to no avail. No matter what I do I cant get the tapping back.
The file I lost is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.
The reinstallation of libsynaptics gets me a truncated config but no tapping. I have searched the world, even copied the similar file from Mint12 and Slackopuppy, but still cant get the tapping back.
I also get an error when I try to use the touchpad apps. The error says there's no Option SHMConfig = 1 or true. And there is. Another error says it cant find the driver, but that error was there before I lost the file.
Can anyone tell me how to get the conf file back?

Hi Richard, Here is my 50-synaptics.conf file but since I don't have a touchpad it isn't configured. Might at least be a starting point.
