I'm still using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (2.6.32-31-generic) on my HP Mini 311
and the Alps Touchpad is still being identified as an ImPS/2 generic
mouse. I have vertical scroll and tap to click, but no way to adjust
these. Tap to click is particularly annoying. I would like to keep that
functionality but have a 2 second delay between typing and tap to click
or else turn off tap to click altogether. Until a device driver is
written or becomes available, I don't expect that this issue will be
solved. I have had this problem on the Mini 311 for over a year now and
I haven't seen any progress on this issue within the bug tracking.
