jcat: When I look up your model on Dell's website it gives a driver for
a Cypress touchpad, not ALPS. Since the E6 report doesn't match that of
an ALPS touchpad, I'm inclined to believe that your touchpad is made by
Cypress, not ALPS.
I don't have access to any hardware with a Cypress touchpad or any
protocol specifications, so it will be difficult to make a driver for
it. You can open a new bug for your hardware if you wish, but discussion
of it on this bug is off-topic.
