Welcome to LQ.
Backtrack on your steps. You tried to improve things, but it got worse, I gather.

Undo what you did, and tell us hopw it is behaving now.

yes,, after i did that.
i edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Quote:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "FastTaps" "1"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection

and then get error like my post before.
if i try to edit my xorg.conf back to default
i can start my kde but i can't use my mouse synaptic in my laptop. i only use my mouse PS/2 or usb.

Remove the xorg.conf and see how things go. I had this one, and they pointed me at /etc/hald. Read this also
