thanks Dave.. my touchpad is much better off now! :-)
i can enable/disable it with Fn+F3 and it supports edge scrolling, multi finger scrolling :-)
i used your package psmouse-alps-dst-0.4

i tested it on my N5110

if you are already into it, i would suggest you to complete the driver by:
1. figuring out how to toggle the LED light above it... It happened with the 32-bit pre installed Ubuntu 11.10 they shipped it with, but who wants 11.10 32 bit when my lappy can support 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 (oh yeah... later on figured that it can't support the touchpad and nvidia optimus graphics :p . but it was too late as i was (over?)confident that Ubuntu 12.04 will work as N5110 was "certified" hardware, and so wiped out the previous OS :-( woe... )
2. does this thing support multi-finger zoom in/out?

Thanks a LOT :-D
