Yes, it works for me for some time (several months)

But, sometimes, after boot mouse events does not get from touchpad to X.
Or even worse, touchpad works some time and then stop working.

Anybody get same glitches ? (I have T60).

psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: [ITHREAD]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0

when it failed, it writes something like:
psm0: failed to reset the aux device.
psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize).

or does not write anything. Only way to reset it, I have found - reboot
system
