fox,
Since you have a completely different laptop brand and model it is unlikely that the cause of your problem is the same one as FriedChicken unless both laptops use the same chipsets.
For these kind of issues it is better to open a new bug report unless you have the exact same laptop model.
So please open a new bug report describing your problem and provide the attachments again to avoid adding unrelated comments to this bug report.
Furthermore it looks like your touchpad is detected ok, a search on the ubuntu forums resulted in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678251. Does the suggested solution (sudo killall mouseemu) work for you?
