Description of task
To use the Synaptics touchpad, users need to configure it. These steps are listed in a wiki page, but not yet in the FreeBSD handbook: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad To make this part of the official FreeBSD documentation, it needs to be added to the FreeBSD handbook chapter on X11 and it's configuration: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html The goal is to put the contents of the wiki into the handbook with some descriptive text and the neccessary steps/options the user has to set in order to use the touchpad. The content added to the handbook needs to conform to our official FreeBSD documentation markup and style.

* please, mind the indentation: follow the rules in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/writing-style.html#WRITING-STYLE-GUIDE
* the article should be integrated into http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html, so the patch to the source of this document is the preferred format
* if you can, it will be good if the TODO items from Wiki can be also be done: namely, weight_len_squared and div_len should be described; however, it is not mandatory.

@Eygene Ryabinkin: I'll surely do the editing tomorrow. I was getting mad with the tabs and spaces in vim and GCIN is ending so @eadler had to close the task. And is your email address rea@freebsd.org ? Needed it to contact you.
Thanks
