Dell Mini 10 Touchpad Detected as ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

[Tyson Williams]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

1) I am using Ubuntu 9.10, but this issue also exists in Lucid (beta 1) and Ubuntu 9.04.
2) I have version 1.1.2-1ubuntu7 xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed in Ubuntu 9.10.
3) I expected to be able to access the Touchpad tab in System -> Preferences -> Mouse.
4) There is no Touchpad tab in the Mouse settings.

I was guided to report this bug by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Troubleshooting and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection (specifically section 3).

Attached is the output of "xinput list" and the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /proc/bus/input/devices, and dmesg.
