Is this a regression, i.e., did the touchpad work with a previous
kernel and only started failing with 2.6.38?  Do you have a way to
test a current kernel, e.g., 3.0-rc7 to see whether it's already been
fixed?

I assume this is a USB device, so I cc'd linux-usb.  If you can
collect the complete dmesg logs from the newest kernel that works and
from 2.6.38, and compare them, there might be a clue.
