http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/15/fixing-my-alps-touchpad-with-the-synaptics-driver/
the page also has links to information on the settings for the synaptics driver. One issue that isn't covered in the change to the xorg.conf file is the "Synaptics Touchpad" was referenced farther down in the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. This needs to be changed to "Alps Touchpad" or whatever you changed the name to.

A friend of mine with ubuntu is having the same problems. I tried the
ksynaptics package and sure I can adjust all sorts of settings but none
of them work. the sensitivity doesn't change, the tapping timing
doesn't change. I even turned tapping OFF yet it still activates mouse
presses when I TOUCH the pad. that's the problem I can't get the stupid
pad to JUST move the mouse. IT ALMOST ALWAYS activates a left mouse
click and I end up dragging crap all over the screen and screwing stuff up.
I tried the Alps option both on and off. Anyone else using the
touchpad? can you give more some pointers on how you have the options set?
