over here my xorg modules live in: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/* ubuntu might be the same(but can't remember). as for uninstalling, synaptic I think might let you uninstall a module individually, but you never know might want to uninstall a whole mess load of stuff. (dependencies) depending on what synaptic does if it wants to uninstall a mess load, I would not even bother, and just locate the evdev_drv.so/la modules rename them or move them to a safe location. then git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev (or just leave them their and write over them with a fresh copy, and when done use apt-get reinstall on it to copy that version again). compile it, remember you might need to specify the location of the modules with a switch i.g. ./configure --someswitch=/specifying/the/location/of/input/modules (that's if ubuntu has them in another location other than default); then see if it fixes your issue. now keep in mind it could be evdev, it could even be libpthread or libxrandr.. tough to say.
