(By the way, I'm just an innocent bystander with a superficially similar
problem. My bug 755518 hasn't received any visible attention yet.)

You should probably refer to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection

It'll probably be useful to attach these output files:
"""
In any case, good idea to include the outputs of the following commands:

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices >~/devices
$ xinput --list > ~/xinput 
"""
Your Xorg.0.log says an ALPS touchpad was found, not Synaptics:

[    25.725] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (/dev/input/event9)
[    25.725] (**) ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall"
[    25.725] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'

and it looks like you might need this fix

same as bug 754344
