I've had Synaptics on three laptops (Dell Inspiron 8100, Asus S5A and
Lenovo ThinkPad T61p), and the touchpad work on all of them. The
SHMConfig option is only needed to access additional configuration
options, but basic functionality is available without any
modifications to xorg.conf.
Here (Toshiba Tecra with both a nipple among the keys and a touchpad) the
touchpad doesn't work at all. Not too bad in my case, as I tend to swipe
over it when typing (with mostly unpleasant results), and I use an external
mouse in any case. The nipple works (but is rather useless with only 2
buttons).
