I've similar prob here too. Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x1280b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x204000
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=12b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input7 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse1 event7 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 7000f 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input' info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list) info.callouts.add = {'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list) info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list) info.category = 'input' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port' (string) info.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string) info.subsystem = 'input' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input' (string) input.device = '/dev/input/event7' (string) input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port' (string) input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string) input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event7' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'input' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input7/event7' (string) So hal does not list 'input.touchpad' in capabilities and hence assigns evdev driver instead of synaptics. Manually setting input.x11_driver property to synaptics with hal-set-property restores synaptics functionality. In 0.5.13 it worked ok.
