The kernel is failing to recognise the touchpad and is falling back to identifying it as a PS2 mouse.  This is due to the touchpad/stick using a new protocol.  The manufacturer is not releasing the specs so that a free driver can be written.

The protocol has been mostly reverse engineered and there is now a fix
involving a patched kernel module, but it isn't completely perfect
(won't do multitouch) and hasn't yet found its way into the mainstream
kernels.
