Touchpad on Acer TravelMate 2450 doesn't work


Hallo,
I have got a problem with my touchpad on Acer TravelMate 2450. After installing drivers (xfe86-input-synaptics - hope this touchpad is synaptics) touchpad died. I can see the values from synclient, I can change it (via synclient or gsynaptics), but touchpad still doesn't work. (Also after restarting X.) Mouse is working perfectly.

There is something about touchpad from Xorg.0.log:
[pavel@laptop ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep touchpad
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.1
(--) Synaptics: touchpad found
(--) Synaptics: touchpad found
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.1
(--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: no supported touchpad found
[pavel@laptop ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep synaptics
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
In xor.conf is this content about touchpad:
Section "ServerLayout"
..
InputDevice "Synaptics" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Section "Module"
...
Load "synaptics"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "false"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
EndSection
I'm runnig Arch Linux with 2.6.33 kernel.

Have you got any idea, how to solve this problem? I would be very happy for any suggestion.
