I formatted and rebuilt the system from scratch. The touchpad is back
to normal now. I don't know if we just want to call this a fluke and
close the bug or if it's something you guys are still looking into.
Either way, thanks for the help.

Maybe, but to my understanding the kernel can assign that to whatever it
likes based on what it finds first. The question is why, but that is
beyond my world of knowledge.

Is there any significance in that I'm using "/dev/input/event7" instead
of "/dev/input/event6" (that the live CD is using)?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server log file
(/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report. Could you please also try to
run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display
and video card and touchpad? Please
Thanks for the response Dereck.
I added the 'Load"synaptics"' line to the module section in
xorg.conf and rebooted. Still no luck.

I noticed you are also not loading the synoptics module, maybe this is
the problem?
