Missing Touchpad in Settings Manager

I recently installed xfce with debian on a samsung notebook. The touchpad is somewhat operational. However, only Mouse appears in the Settings Manager. Touchpad is not listed. What should I check?

Re: Missing Touchpad in Settings Manager

What kind of touchpad is it?

egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices

Is the touchpad being recognized by X? /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show it.

Also, what does the following command return:

xfconf-query -c pointers -lv

Xfce currently only supports touchpads using the Synaptics driver. See: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse
