I have a synaptics touchpad on a Dell Inspiron.  I've never used the 
above (and never had the problems you mention below)...

I add
   hint.psm.0.flags="0x1000"
to my /boot/device.hints file to get it working.

Might give it a try.  Presently running 6.0-STABLE as of this morning... 
but the above hint has been working since 5.x days.
