@bmhm. OK, thanks for the clarification. While we wait for the Ubuntu kernel team to have a look at this bug; let's open an upstream bug at fdo as well. I don't know enough about touchpads to say in what component this bug is hiding, but I believe the logs etc you have provided should be sufficient for a developer to have a look at it. Can you please open a bug at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ with a clean summary of the logs and what we found out about the modprobe etc. Report the bug against "xorg" and set the component to "Input/Synaptics". Once you have created an upstream bug, use the link "Also affects project" near the top of the Launchpad bug and paste the upstream URL in there. This will link the two bug reports so that the Ubuntu packagers get an automatic notification whenever upstream fixes the bug. Should xorg upstream conclude that it's not a bug in the synaptics xorg package we can open a similar upstream bug report against bugzilla.kernel.org instead...

I'd prefer if the Ubuntu kernel team had a look at this bug first though, so we know for sure that this bug report has all the data that the upstream kernel developers are likely to need for their analysis.
