I got frustrated with manually switching on/off the touchpad so I wrote evdaemon ( http://codegrove.org/evdaemon/ ) and evdaemon-admin ( http://codegrove.org/evdaemon-admin/ ). Evdaemon is to generic event devices what Syndaemon is just for keyboards and touchpads. At least in my usage it has replaced syndaemon, perhaps some of you will find it useful too :).
I have Ubuntu-packaged it and made it available in my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~tuos/+archive/codegrove One could argue that it would have been better to use the time and energy to help finding the real cause of this bug, but believe me, creating evdaemon and playing with the input-subsystem was too much fun :P. -- Touchpad not recognized on Asus U80 and UL30 series.
