yum list xorg-x11-drv-synaptics reveals that it was installed all along.
It didn't work until I copied a previous xorg.conf file to /etc/X11 and
added in the InputDevice section (among other things)...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Now I can do...
synclient TouchpadOff=2
(diabling mouse taps)
