Hi,
lshal on mly system sees this

udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad'} (string
list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port'  (string)
  info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'  (string)
  info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
(string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event7'  (string)
  input.originating_device =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port'  (string)
  input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event7'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path =
'/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7/event7'  (string)

tpconfig -i gives:

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).
Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up.
Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second.
Corner taps disabled;        no tap gestures.
Edge motion: none.
Z threshold: 6 of 7.
2 button mode; corner tap is right button click.

and the only remedy was to change modprobe's options as I said. Before that,
/proc/bus/input/devices could not see it as a touchpad.

Do you have any file named psmouse* in /etc/modprobe.d?
