Hi Luiz,

Thank you!

i guess i have something wrong again, but the driver is
installed successfully!

sudo dkms install psmouse/alps-dst-1.0
Module psmouse/alps-dst-1.0 already installed on kernel
3.2.0-32-generic-pae/i686
 ^ so everything is ok, no errors during install.

i restarted ubuntu and log-in again

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_HD id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]

so I run
xinput set-prop 4 "Device Enabled" 0
and them, when I 'touch the touchpad', x restarted with some fail,

I guess i need to uninstall Virtual core XTEST pointer,

how is your output for dmesg | grep -i mouse ?
 dmesg | grep -i mouse
[ 2.000752] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[ 18.925156] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7
[ 469.277820] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input13

Again, thank you (and if you is here in São Paulo/Augusta,'ll buy you a
beer the 18am!)
