Ho-hum ... I've found the problem, and maybe it is fixed by now.

It is the DETECTION of the Synaptics pad that failed when installing Ubuntu, so the pertinent entry was not present in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The pad was working through the PS2 driver, which explains the problems.

Copying the Synaptics section from the Breezy partition fixed the issue. Now, I don't know whether it would fail to be detected at installation time as of today.
