Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

After auto upgrading the kernel to linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic my touchpad vertical scrolling (scrolling the vertical scrollbar by moving a finger on the right border of the touchpad) doesn't work any more.
I'm using Kubuntu 10.04 (lucid) beta1 on Sony VAIO EB1E1E laptop. The touchpad name reported in System settings is AlpsPS2/2 ALPS.

Verical scrolling used to work before the upgrade and when I booted the previous kernel version 2.6.32-18 the touchpad vertical scrolling was still working and the touchpad settings weren't editable (see attached touchpad_2.6.32-18.png)

Now in 2.6.32-19 the touchpad settings are editable (see attached touchpad_2.6.32-19.png) but don't wok for me.

Also setting Touchpad to 'off' isn't preserved - when I set it to 'off', click Apply, close System Settings and open them again the Touchpad is set to "on".

Thanks,
Rocky
