This suggestion was reported to launchpad bug tracker for synaptics touchpad by 
Rainfly_X:
Syndaemon is a powerful and wonderful tool that allows you to, among many other 
things, prevent accidental clicking when you're trying to type.

But no matter how many times we solve the "synaptics device not found"
bug for synaptics devices, new, old, or just plain odd devices are gonna
get left out in the cold. So I recommend that syndaemon be made capable
of working with unclassified "mice" that show up as "ImPS/2 Generic
Wheel Mouse," by spitting out a warning that it's going to use a device
that doesn't look like a synaptics device, give the name, and then give
the user a Y/N option whether to continue.

This would make syndaemon a lot more useful to people who are still
waiting for bugfixes on their touchpads, or even people with regular
mice in some scenarios (I'm thinking, really persistantly bothersome
cats). It would certainly make my life a lot more livable, since I have
a very sensitive and obnoxiously placed touchpad that ends up
registering clicks all the time when I'm trying to type.
