I have a similar problem, I think. I have an ASUS Eee 1015PED. The touchpad works fine, even all the capacitive multitouch things, like the two-fingered scrolling and the three-fingered right click, but there is no Touchpad Tab in Preferences -> Mouse, so I can't turn on the disable- touchpad-while-typing thing, or turn off tap-to-click...both problems are incredibly annoying to me, because my mouse flies around when I'm trying to type, and I always inadvertently click things with the touchpad while moving my finger.
I tried running syndaemon, but it says it can't find anything. I tried gsynaptics, but it says it needs 'SHMClient' 'true' enabled in xorg.conf. That's not going to fly because there is no xorg.conf in 10.04 because there's no hal; it's all udev now, which I have no idea how to configure. I tried fiddling with synclient but it said there wasn't any driver to connect to. I think that, at least on my machine, the touchpad is operating on a lower level than udev is aware of, because my scrolling is working, but the Touchpad tab in Mouse is absent. This suggests udev is seeing it as a generic mouse, and some other driver or something is passing the touchpad-type stuff to the higher levels. For example, to get the Fn keys working on my 1015, I had to use a kernel parameter. Does getting the touchpad to work require a kernel parameter?
