I'm having the same problem posted by Pitabred; I see the exact same
output. I'm on a System76 first gen Serval with the Elantech Touchpad.
I have tried some of the proposed configurations above and nothing has
made my touch pad work. I did an upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty. The
touchpad worked fine in Intrepid.

I see the Macintosh mouse support loading in too. Could this be
interferring?
Here is the contents of my
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
