Comment 35 for bug 270643

Update: It actually seems pretty unreliable to me currently. On some boots, the touchpad works. About 50% of the time, nothing.

When things work, I will see the touchpad found in dmesg | grep -i alps, and also lshal | grep -i alps.
Other times, I will boot the same kernel and get no matches from either command.
What does this mean?
