So,

finally I managed to use the touchpad with the synaptics driver.
I took appletouch.c from kernel 2.6.20rc1 and compared it to the version
that is included in opensuse 10.2.

The support for the touchpad in the Macbook with Core2Duo is due to some
new USB ID's. The other changes in the module are improvements.

As a first try I replaced the appletouch.c from opensuse with the new
version. Since this did not compile because of the use of some
usb_endpoint function I compared the two files and patched the opensuse
version with all changes expect the part with the usb_endpoint function.

Then I compiled the modules with

make oldconfig
make modules

and copied the freshly build appletouch.ko to /lib/modules/...

With this I could use the synaptics driver with the description from
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook

Maybe there is a better way to compile the new module for opensuse
(maybe using the build service?), but I have no experience with this.
