Hello Kevin/David,

It seems I'm having the same touchpad found in the Fujitsu A512. When inserting the psmouse-alps-1.3.tbz module, I'm getting this in the syslog, like Matt:

[ 3087.136231] psmouse serio1: alps: E6 report: 00 00 64
[ 3087.157739] psmouse serio1: alps: E7 report: 73 03 50
[ 3087.179634] psmouse serio1: alps: EC report: 73 02 02
[ 3087.182545] psmouse serio1: alps: ALPS: E7=73 03 50, EC=73 02 02
[ 3087.182551] psmouse serio1: alps: Unknown ALPS touchpad: E7=73 03 50, EC=73 02 02
[ 3087.959723] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input28

I've tried Kevin's psmouse-alps-1.3-alt.tbz, but does not seems address the issue. I can see the Touchpad tab of "Mouse and Touchpad" System Settings, but scrolling doesn't work. And even when I'm inserting the module with the "-v" parameter (like comment #242 is saying), I only get this quiet output in the syslog:

[ 3500.941929] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input30
[ 3500.957477] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input31

This is a Dell Vostro 3360. I can test other patches if you want, or give more info about my laptop.

Thank you
