Synaptics TouchPad sometimes works,sometimes not
 
I have ASUS notebook (A6S50K,I think),and Synaptics Touchpad v6.1 on it. I am using Slackware 11.0 with 2.4.33.3 kernel.

This is my problem: touchpad works great when I connect USB mouse. When Slack boots,I connect USB mouse,hit 'startx' and everything works fine.No problems with touchpad in X.
But,when I disconnect mouse,and then try 'startx', the X crashes.

I have found this website: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/, and downloaded the driver and followed all instructions for installation and setting. I don't know what else to do.


These are the links where I posted my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log:

Can someone help me?
Thanks to all!!

InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
is what makes your USB mouse needed to run X. Change it to "Synaptics".

That's it!!
Just changed "Synaptics AlwaysCore" into "Synaptics CorePointer" and everything works great..

Thanks, raskin!!
