Hi FCG,

Extract psmouse-alps-dst-0.4 in /usr/src/ with sudo rights.

If you have installed the module before, I suggest you to completely remove it before reinstalling with:
sudo dkms remove psmouse/alps-dst-0.4 --all
(of course, if you have installed another version of the module, change version number accordingly)

Then just give those commands in the terminal:
sudo dkms build psmouse/alps-dst-0.4
sudo dkms install psmouse/alps-dst-0.4
sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe -v psmouse

After that your touchpad will be hopefully recognized by your machine.

Let me know if this helped you!
