Comment 18 for bug 601113

First post:
I confirm that I also have this issue on my Dell e6410 running Ubuntu 10.10 with standard kernels.

This patch (applied to Ubuntu-2.6.35-23.40 kernel, at least):
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/118834/
allows vertical scrolling with touchpad, in addition to touch-click. The problem is that the movement/button-pressing becomes quite erratic after waking up from sleep. Upon rebooting, the touchpad will once again move, scroll and press correctly, until it goes to sleep.

I haven't looked into a remedy yet, but thought I would report.
