i realise now that i am on the road and have not
always place for a
mouse that i have the same problem as you have. did
you solved yours and
if so what did you do? i followed this thread and
tried out all the
suggestions w/o success. i can tell that maybe 1 of
the 10 times my
touchpad works but most of the time it's dead.

Looks similar to a message I used to get on my hp
z5000 laptop. Here's what I did...
echo -n "reconnect" >
/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio3/drvctl
this comes from a linuxr3000 laptop list, so I don't
understand why, but it got synaptics to see the
touchpad. then I needed to get scroll working. i took
the extra step if allow usb mouse and touchpad
w/scroll simultaneiously:
[change config similar to:]
