Created attachment 319700 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log After installing xorg-server-1.12.99.903 I can move the mouse pointer with the mouse but not with the touchpad. I do not see any error /var/log/Xorg.0.log. root@lynx:/root(10)# qlist -Iv x11-drivers x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.1 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.6.2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.8.0 x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.20 x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.3.2 root@lynx:/root(11)# qlist -Iv xorg x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12 x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.99.903 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r2 x11-misc/xorg-cf-files-1.0.4 root@lynx:/root(12)# genlop -t xorg-server | tail -n 6 Thu Jul 26 15:17:17 2012 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.99.902 merge time: 3 minutes and 17 seconds.

It seems that the issue is gnome related. I can move the mousepointer with the touchpad at the alphanumeric console. I can move the mousepointer with the touchpad after starting gdm, if I login with kde or pure openbox I can move the mousepointer with the touchpad. If I login with pure gnome or with openbox/gnome the mousepointer freezes (at least for the use with the touchpad). Which gnome packages I should reemerge?
Have you tried on a new created user account? Also check ~/.xsession-errors
In .xsessions-errors I find: rose@lynx:/home/rose(11)$ cat .xsession-errors /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... ... /etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session ** Message: couldn't access conrol socket: /tmp/keyring-pqWucQ/control: Keine Berechtigung GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-1KLbQd SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-1KLbQd/ssh GNOME_KEYRING_PID=12129 ** Message: couldn't access conrol socket: /tmp/keyring-pqWucQ/control: Keine Berechtigung ** Message: couldn't access conrol socket: /tmp/keyring-pqWucQ/control: Keine Berechtigung ** Message: couldn't access conrol socket: /tmp/keyring-pqWucQ/control: Keine Berechtigung GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-1KLbQd ...

BTW., the system is a thinkpad which also has a trackpoint, which is also working.
And now I created a new user "touchpad". And user "touchpad" has no problems with the touchpad, even if gnome is the desktop. How can I manage, that user "rose" can use the touchpad under gnome?
You will need to start copying your original config files (~/.*) from "rose" to new created user account until problem reappears, then go through subdirectories...

Did you try changing the various settings in "System settings -> Mouse and touchpad" ?
The problem persists with gnome-3.6.2.
