I got synaptic touchpad and usb mouse. When I boot without mouse plugged 
in, everything works like a charm. I can turn off the touchpad and back 
on. I can plug the mouse and get it working. However if I boot the 
system with the mouse plugged the synaptics driver does not get loaded, 
and touchpad is recognized as generic wheel mouse. Obviously I'm screwed 
  here because none of my settings for touchpad is working, and you 
cannot turn it off with the button, the mouse is working fine though.

and here is part of  my xorg

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Synaptics"
         Driver      "synaptics"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
         Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
         Option      "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
         Option      "VertScrollDelta" "60"
         Option      "TapButton2" "1"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Mouse0"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
         Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
         Option      "Buttons" "5"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier     "Server Layout"
         Screen         "Screen0" 0 0
         InputDevice    "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Maybe our problems have common root?
