Drop this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-synaptics-nograb.conf

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "synaptics don't grab"
   MatchDriver "synaptics"
   Option "GrabEventDevice" "off"
EndSection

and restart X. that should stop synaptics from grabbing the device, allowing you to capture it while X is running.

Also, if you could record the output and description with evemu, that'd make it a lot easier for me to replay. https://launchpad.net/utouch-evemu, then run evemu-describe and evemu-record
