It seems to be a kernel bug - the X server will ask HAL for the input devices that it knows about, and add them using the driver that HAL specifies. Since HAL doesn't seem to know about your touchpad, that would explain why it doesn't work. It looks quite like the kernel doesn't know about your particular touchpad.

Do you actually have a Logitech wheel mouse plugged in, or might that device be some misdetected touchpad?
