The new synaptics driver doesn't work with Dell Latitude Touchpad, it doesn't
work any /dev/input/event?|mouse? and /dev/psaux neither (altough the same
configuration worked at least until 2.5.70).
I tried with gpm and the X's synaptics driver from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html (as indicated in the
kernel documentation) and none worked, although "cat < /dev/input/event0"
showed garbage every time I touched the touchpad (no pun intended) iff evdev
was loaded.

You probably need this patch.

Does it help to make the timeout even longer? (15 seconds for example)
Does it help to disable the reset sequence altogether, like this?

No, it didn't help. With the above patch, the x server gives the following
errors:
Query no Synaptics: 0000C8
(EE) TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

Looks like the wrong protocol is specified in the X driver
configuration. You must set "Device" to "/dev/input/eventX" and
"Protocol" to "event", where X is probably 0 in your case.

I can replicate this problem with 2.6.0-test1 on a Dell Inspiron 4150
laptop as well.

This doesn't look like the same problem. There is no "reset failed"
message. Are you using the correct XFree86 driver:
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
Also, note that the driver doesn't work with gpm yet.
