Not really. For me, it's always Just Worked(tm) on my Thinkpad with FC4.
Check /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages and make sure the kernel finds
the Synaptics device. If it doesn't, then the xorg driver probably won't
either.
My synaptics driver is synaptics-0.14.0-2, which ships with FC4. I think
you ought to be able to rebuild it and use it with FC3. It may detect
more devices.
Another post suggested reconfiguring your X with no external mouse.
i realise now that i am on the road and have not always place for a
mouse that i have the same problem as you have. did you solved yours and
if so what did you do? i followed this thread and tried out all the
suggestions w/o success. i can tell that maybe 1 of the 10 times my
touchpad works but most of the time it's dead.
