I had been struggling with this for weeks, compiling and recompiling my 
kernel,  enabling and disabling moused. etc etc
I have a dell inspiron 1100 running 4.9 RELEASE,  I googled and found a 
few things to try,  I disabled moused first of all.
then in my XF86Config I have:
Identifier   "Synaptics"
Driver       "mouse"
Option "Protocol"   "auto"
Option "Device"     "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
(because I changed the identifier to "Synaptics" also made sure to 
change that in layout section)
In my kernel config I have this line for keyboard and psm0
device         atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device         atkbd0   at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1
device         psm0     at atkbdc? irq12 flags 0x1000

recompiled kernel for the thousandth time. rebooted...
noted psm0 showed up in the boot messages (YAY)
did moused -p /dev/psm0 (nearly had a heart attack when it didnt say 
"device not configured")
vidcontrol -m on
pointer appeared in console and worked! started X and finally have a 
working touchpad.
Im still slightly in shock,  first got fullscreen 24 bit display in X on 
this thing last night and tonight finally got touchpad working,  no more 
external mouse :)
Well that was what worked for me,  I havent looked into any special 
options on it,  as I am just thrilled its working at all.
Hope it helps someone else too
Cheers,
Michelle
