It works on my computer at least. When loading the psmouse module I get this:
input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio2 Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firware: 5.6 180 degree mounted touchpad Sensor: 18 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> four buttons -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio4
The touchpad and the mouse operates independently of each other. The mouse generates relative events as usual and the touchpad generates absolute events as defined by my previous patch.
