Touchpad recognized as an ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse

Hi, I just installed Slackware 14.2 and completed all updates through slackpkg. Now I usually have double tap over TouchPad set to middle click and when I tried to set this up through synclient it will not recognise my TouchPad.

I tried copying /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d but this did not do anything.

Here is the output of synclient. All commands are run as root.
Code:#synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?So I checked how the system recognizes the TouchPad and got this:
Code:#cat /proc/bus/input/devices
.
