Please try git master.  There was a problem with the DAC setup on
RS4xx chips in 6.9.0.  I may roll a 6.9.1 soon to pickup the fallout
from 6.9.0 testing.

I'm using xserver-xorg version 1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu12 (the ubuntu
developing version) but also Hardy version
(1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2)
how can I see if the driver gets connected through evdev?
Thank you

The problem is that the touchpad is getting assigned a different number
after reconnecting.

This can be fixed by the following (suggested by Stefan Monnier):

1 - use a udev rule so that the touchpad is always available as
    /dev/input/touchpad:

    kernel=="event*", DRIVERS=="synaptics-usb", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"

2 - Force the synaptics driver to use that special device name:

        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/touchpad"

You might need to adapt the DRIVERS line if your touchpad is not USB.

Not that I know of.  It seems that your touchpad is just "trying to be
smart", so that it avoids having the mouse jump when the second finger
touches down.
