Yep, it does. When you posted the second reply mentioning xinput I did

The problems I now have are that my version of xinput is 1.3.0 (Ubuntu
Hardy) and I don't have the --set-prop option. Since the GrabEventDevice
option in xorg.conf messes up my xserver, I tried removing the synaptics
driver completely and I can now get the data in via [hid] and
[linuxevent].
hi james,
the synaptics driver generally steals the focus of the device
so that userspace programs can't directly access it, see if
the Xorg option 'Option GrabEventDevice false' helps,
see 'man synaptics' for more info.
cheers,

can be found with:

When using [hid] and friends on GNU/Linux, you generally need to setup
things so you have permission to read the device directly:

I've never used hid or linuxmouse. And when I saw your message I gave it a try
(since I'm also running Ubuntu and have a synaptics touchpad).
I'd like to help but here it seems to be even a bigger mess... it crashes
