i had the same problem, here is the fix... during installation, when the text mode system configuration runs, go to the mouse setup, add 0x400 to the flags field. your touchpad returns an unexpected response to the mouse probe. adding this flag seems to force the driver to install reguardless of the probe response. you can not/do not add this as a "post install configuration" add the flag -3 instead to emulate 3 buttons. run moused on boot if you like, if you do... use sysmouse as the driver for XF86Config. john baxter let me know if you mouse freeks out while using xwindow... i think my laptop's apm system messes with my mouse driver.
