Good to see so many people testing this! Yes, it's a first cut and does not include multi-touch. The next rev of the DLKM will include:
1) more diagnostics to ascertain the ALPS model and behavior
2) support all recognized alps touchpads - including Ben Gamari's work on the E6430 (understanding that I can't test anything but the N5110), and
3) hopefully multi-touch.

I set the Velocity Scaling to 40 and noticed the cursor jumps sometimes.

I don't see any code in the psmouse driver area that explicitly supports edge-scroll so I think it's a generic X capability. However, I think I may have configured the Alps driver for the incorrect touchpad size - which would mean no edges.
