I'm trying no to get my hopes up and just think that I can actually
live without the extra touchpad functionality, cause after all I
barely use one where it works... anyways, thank you Johan. Keep us
posted.

>  Initially the ALPS touchpad was detected by the kernel but does not support horizontal and vertical support but after the kernel upgrade to 10.04 vertical scroll is working but horizontal scroll is not working. And the kernel is not detecting the ALPS touchpad and the cat /proc/bus/input/devices says it is a  PS2 mouse ..
