Main symptoms:
The touchpad itself is working (moving the cursor), tap and drag working Ok.
The scroll is a rocker switch: up for scroll up and down for scroll down, situated between the left and right mouse buttons.
The down action acts like the middle mouse button (even though this model laptop does not have middle mouse button fuctionality)
The up action does nothing.
In the mouse settings I see a "Virtual core XTEST pointer" and "PS/2 Generic Mouse" - Nothing about any touchpad.
Problem:
Therefore the specific problem is that the rocker switch does not scroll up and down, instead the down actions is acting as a middle mouse button.
Root cause:
[guess] I think that the touchpad (which I believe is an alps device) is not being correctly recognised at the hardware level.
Further info:
If I do 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' I get:
