Haven't tried 8.10 yet but it's possible that gsalem has just got luck and his touchpad was recognized properly or maybe there is really fix for that - I'll try to check that in the near future.
For last few reboots my touchpad was detected as it should be (without need to reload psmouse module) - that's quite strange...
There can be similar problems with "PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad".
I forgot to mention I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1
