touchpad problem

Hey guys..

I have been trying to get my touchpad working properly using the tutorial I found in the forums here: (I am unable to post links) but if you search for synaptics it should show up :)

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it working properly yet. The funny thing that happens is. When I restart my computer the 'xorg.conf' file that I edited gets replaced by a brand new one and the original has it named changed to 'xorg.conf~'. Now I am assuming backtrack 3 does this because something is configured incorrectly in my edited 'xorg.conf' file. Can someone possibly look at what I have in my edited conf file and see where I went wrong?

Here is my conf:

Any help would greatly be appreciated

I should add that I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - SK800E Laptop
It is running with the Phoenix Bios.. I know linux and phoenix don't play nicely with one another so I am thinking this could be the problem.. I am not sure though.

Thank you in advance
