Confirmed that this bug affects Acer K50i and that it is fixed in 2.6.35.7 without any patches (I used the instructions linked to in comment 48 to build the module from sources downloaded from kernel.org). syndaemon now detects the touchpad and the program works fine. Two finger tapping (right click), and three finger tapping (center click) are both working fine.

However, I did lose the ability to scroll using two fingers and dragging. System -> Preferences -> Touchpad shows that vertical scrolling is enabled. Since nobody else is having this scrolling issue, I assume this is because I'm running the driver from 2.6.35.7 but my kernel is 2.6.32-25. If this is still an issue when the 2.6.35 is released to Lucid, I'll post back here, otherwise you can assume its working fine. Thank you for getting the patch included in the kernel so quickly.
