You have hal-0.5.10 installed and compiled xorg-server with hal. Now hal will
scan the attached devices and hotplug available mice. The touchpad is
recognized as a mouse and the "evdev" driver is loaded with uses absolute
mode since the device emits absolute coordinates.
These devices are even added when you already have a mouse input device in the
xorg.conf, thus giving you a lot of mice that use the same data (some guys
report double clicks on single clicks, keymaps changed, the touchpad does not
work right anymore).
Put
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
in the Section Serverflags and xorg will stop to hotplug mice.
Or add a custom policy file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ to add the touchpad with
the synaptics driver instead of evdev.
