Hello!

It seems this laptop has an Elantech touchpad, not a Synpatics one. On
Linux, xf86-input-synaptics uses a Linux-only API to communicate with
and support this touchpad, not the PS/2 common interface.

So I fear that your touchpad isn't supported by xf86-inpt-synaptics on
FreeBSD.

Those are tunables, not sysctls, meaning they must be set in
/boot/loader.conf. Could you please try that?
