You can use the special XFree86 Synaptics Driver.

It seems that the oriinal Synaptics driver does not bring all
includes. But as a quick fix you can do:

   ALLINCLUDES = -I. -I$(X_INCLUDES_ROOT)/include/X11 \
                -I$(X_INCLUDES_ROOT)/include/X11/extensions \
-               -I$(X_INCLUDES_ROOT)/lib/Server/include
+               -I$(X_INCLUDES_ROOT)/lib/Server/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
 else
   SERVERSRC = $(TOP)/programs/Xserver
   ALLINCLUDES = -I. \


gmake synaptics_drv.o and install the synaptics_drv.o to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/synaptics_drv.o


Protocol for Fbsd is psm instead of psaux
