Thanks again

What is this driver update that you are talking about and where in Fedora Forum did you find it? I tried the solution given by masseo1 but the result was the same.
However unlike in your case where the touchpad does not respond, mine happens to be a bit weird. During the startup the touchpad does not respond, but in the login screen when I move my finger rapidly on it, the pointer jumps to someplace in the bottom left corner and produces random left and right button clicks and never comes back to the center of the screen. Just keeps wobbling around in the bottom left corner whenever I move my finger on the touchpad. These are the contents of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file

I really cannot understand half the crap that is going on in my distro. Synaptics is detected, it fails to load, them ALPS GlidePoint touchpad driver is found, it gets enabled but still the touchpad behaves weirdly. Please Please help me out here!
