In the interim, i have been able to find a work-arround.

"sudo apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics"

will install xfree86's driver (and uninstall xorgs)

You will then need to symlink the driver into it's proper location for xorg by typing

"sudo ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o"

Now finally a quick re-boot should send you on your way.
