syndaemon currently uses a synaptics-only property to disable the
touchpad. this property disables the touchpad in-driver. a similar
property exists on all devices but that would disable the device
completely, potentially interfering with the desktop environment. this
would require testing to ensure it doesn't break anything.

other than that, syndaemon would need a commandline switch to let the
user specify the device. right now it looks for the synaptics pad, which
in your case would not work.

if you have patches, I'd likely merge them if there not too invasive.
