I have an Inspiron 1525.  After struggling with this for a long time, I 
found that the following entry in /etc/rc.conf did the trick

moused_flags="-3 -m 11=4 -A 2"

It is the "-m 11=4" that did it.  On my computer, it isn't really a 
"synaptics" touchpad, but some other brand.

Hopefully it will work for you.

Stephen
