Hi  Hans,
  I've been checking the archives and found only one issue that has to do with the ubuntu problem and sais to put this line:
 KERNEL=="event[0-9]*",                  MODE="0666"
  in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.
  The problem is that xubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) doesn't have this file  any more and permissions.rules, i think, are given in other archives...  i'm looking in ubuntu forums to see what can i do... If someone  knows something about...
  I have already tried to create the archive but it didn't work  either.
  thanks again,
  Diego.

 Chances are that the trackpad is an USB device, but just internal.  But I don't think that's the issue.  I think in recent versions of Ubuntu, the X server or related process grabs the keyboard and mice using exclusive access.  You have to tell the X server to not use the mice that you want to use with [hid].  Check the archives, there is quite a bit of discussion about it.  It would be great to have a wiki page about this...

  Thanks for the fast response. No, it isn't. It's the standard  synaptic touchpad that comes with many laptops.

It's not a permission issue, i've already gave permission to /dev/input/event0-9 and /dev/input/mouse0-2.
  is your touchpad a USB HID device?
