Chances are that the trackpad is an USB device, but just internal.
But I don't think that's the issue. I think in recent versions of
Ubuntu, the X server or related process grabs the keyboard and mice
using exclusive access. You have to tell the X server to not use the
mice that you want to use with [hid]. Check the archives, there is
quite a bit of discussion about it. It would be great to have a wiki
page about this...

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the fast response. No, it isn't. It's the standard
synaptic touchpad that comes with many laptops.

works perfect (usb mouse, keyboard, etc) except for the touchpad.
It's not a permission issue, i've already gave permission to /dev/
input/event0-9 and /dev/input/mouse0-2.
is your touchpad a USB HID device?
