No, it also does not work in Hardy. The situation looks exactly the
same: device not present in /proc/bus/input/devices.

Maybe this is interesting: if I run "sudo tpconfig", I get the following
output:

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).

I cannot tell what this actually means. It sounds like the touchpad is 
recognized at some level. 
However, I cannot change any of the touchpad settings. For instance if I run 
"sudo tpconfig -z4", to change the sensitivity, the command is syntactically 
recognized correctly. However, the value always remains at 6, as I get the 
following response: "Z threshold: 6 of 7.". If I enter a number larger than 7 
(i.e. "sudo tpconfig -z8"), I get an error message: 'Invalid Z threshold "8" 
[use 0-7].'

Thanks to everyone who is willing to look into this. 
Please let me know if I can provide any further information or if can run some 
additional tests.
