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. (from http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157889)
