Hello Don,
have you seen this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/442441
for some posters it was connected with grub issue.
Quoting Przemysław Kulczycki from Comment 31 for bug 442441:

I forgot that I was still running the Jaunty kernel :/ After reboot the
touchpad works fine, lsusb works too.
Bug 202009 was the reason for my confusion - my menu.lst wasn't updated
by grub.
