Comment(by pgf):

 okay, i think when i wrote the current olpc-utils modprobe.d stanza, i was
 thinking that the synaptics driver was built in.  but it's not, on either
 XO-1.5 or XO-1.

 so the new stanza should look like:

 {{{
 install psmouse \
         /sbin/modprobe psmouse --ignore-install taptoclick=0 || \
         /sbin/modprobe psmouse --ignore-install
 }}}

 with no proto= parameter, we'll search and either find HGPK, or nothing.
 we'll still need the fallback for old kernels with no taptoclick
 parameter.  seems like there should be a way to tell the kernel "i know
 this might not exist, so ignore it if it doesn't", but i don't think there
 is.
