    I don't know about FC3, but FC2's kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 is fairly similar,
    and I have a synaptics touch-pad working fairly well.

    Or, actually I don't have the touch-pad working at all, because the only
    thing I want to do with my touch-pad is to TURN OFF THE DAMN THING,
    especially the BLEEPING TAP-TO-CLICK. The bleeping touch-pad's default
    configuration is so sensitive that mere vibration of air molecules appear to
    be sufficient to generate mouse-clicks at random intervals.

    I'm using the synaptics 0.12.5 driver for X, and here's the relevant
    snippets from xorg.conf. Hope this helps.

    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver "synaptics"
      Identifier "Mouse0"
      Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
      Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
      Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
      Option "RightEdge" "5300"
      Option "TopEdge" "1700"
      Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
      Option "FingerLow" "25"
      Option "FingerHigh" "30"
    # Turn this sucker off!!!
    # Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
      Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
      Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
      Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
      Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
      Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
      Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
      Option "SHMConfig" "on"
    # Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
      Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
      Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
    EndSection

    The blasted thing is for all practical purposes dead now, and I can do my
    business with a regular mouse.
