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]. The problem is that I no longer have two-fingered
scrolling and can't disable the touchpad tap without a driver. I tried
to install the Alps driver but had an error as reported here:

any help appreciated

Yep, it does. When you posted the second reply mentioning xinput I did
xinput --help and there it was "the --list command".
Thanks for the help,
Pedro

'xinput --list' provides a list of all
