Finally My problem was fixed.. I read the following in ubuntu forums. But I want the ubuntu team to fix it and patch it if possible else "Document" in the steps for touchpad detection section.
The solution I used is: Hi All, I've finally got my Alps touchpad working on my Fujitsu 6120 laptop (albeit on PCLinuxOS 2007). My problem originated from the fact that Linux (Ubuntu Fiesty) refused to detect my Alps touchpad device correctly and was detecting it as a PS/2 Mouse. I was able to fix this by editing my /boot/grub/menu.lst entry for my installation by tagging i8042.reset i8042.nomux to the end of the kernel entry. Thus my main boot entry in my menu.lst file now looks like this: title linux kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=/dev/sda5 acpi=on splash=silent vga=788 i8042.reset i8042.nomux initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img This is an entry for a PCLinuxOS install, but the principle should be the same for Ubuntu (i.e. add the i8042.reset i8042.nomux parameters to the kernel boot options). This works on the Intel i8042 keyboard/mouse driver. After getting the OS to recognise the Alps device, it's a simple case of configuring your xorg.conf file with the correct entries for synaptics.
