Too busy to reply more, but I think you need xorg.conf to pass the
special parameters to the touchpad. Otherwise it gets treated like an
ordinary mouse. I don't remember whether that even works on a touchpad
or if any module got loaded at all. Maybe just psmouse? It is all too
long ago, but just try an xorg.conf entry and see what happens.
By the way, please copy to the list to help others.
