@Mary:

Awesome! I found what I needed:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
  info.callouts.add = {'hal-probe-vmmouse'} (string list)
  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.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event10'  (string)
  input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port'  (string)
  input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'synaptics'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event10'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10/event10'  (string)

This is a description of your mouse. So, your touchpad has been
recognized properly (input.product looks good) and is using the
synaptics driver (input.x11_driver). So, I think the issues you have are
more at the synaptics X driver level than the kernel level. So, keeping
with the idea of one bug per issue, I suggest opening a bug against the
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package:

ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge in that driver can
help you sort out these issues.
