[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

[Gareth Halfacree]

I'm also having this problem with an HP Pavillion DM3 that I bought
today - I had to create a /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf file with
"options psmouse proto-imps" in order to get edge-scrolling working.

The issue appears to be caused by the touchpad being incorrectly
detected as a PS/2 mouse.  When I do the following:

xinput test "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"

nothing is registered.  When I do this:

xinput test "PS/2 Mouse"

I get co-ordinates for every movement of the trackpad.

Currently on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic.
