Does anyone have any real news about how solving this bug is going?
What's the status of the input driver for ALPS devices under linux?
What's the status of multitouch support?

> 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 ..
