all lines with (ee) are significant:

you have problems with two things: 

1: the touchpad is not included as module (synaptics failed)
2: the mouse should be AFAIK be at /dev/psaux in kernel 2.4.18-bf,
/dev/input/mice has been used for later kernels.

What to do?

try as root 

modconf and look for the synaptics touchpad
run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and select the proper device
