I remember an issue from 1.5 years ago, when I did an update on (then 
testing) Etch which led to a touchpad problem.  I think the 
Synaptics touchpad was somehow related to pcmcia stuff (yenta socket) 
and hotplug used to recognize it automatically before the update.  
(This was an Averatec 3250 laptop.)

The update introduced udev, but that didn't work for kernels older than 
2.6.15 (the Sarge kernel is 2.6.8) and it conflicted with hotplug.  Also 
there was an issue related to pcmcia-cs (for older than 2.6.13) vs. 
pcmcia-utils (for 2.6.13 or higher).

Maybe making sure you have the Etch kernel, udev, and pcmcia-utils would 
solve your touchpad problem.
