In 11.04 the touchpad is recognised as a PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse - checking around the various touchpad debug pages suggests that the kernal in 11.04 does not register it as a touchpad.
Can anyone confirm that this issue is resolved in 11.10?

Do you have any real problem or are you just researching?– lpanebrNov 13, 2011 at 20:49

I have a real problem in that I currently can't configure my touchpad and I would prefer not to go through the hassle of upgrading if it won't fix the problem (I'm otherwise happy with 11.04 and have a fair amount of 'unmanaged' software installed).– mavnnNov 14, 2011 at 9:50

This is not a direct answer but I had similar issue with 11.10. The fix developed by Seth Forshee available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/comments/492 solved my problem and also worked for A LOT of people.
It is worth checking it out and asking there about it. It definetely might be the solution IF the output of xinput list on the shell shows you have an Alps TouchPad.
