Just posting to confirm psmouse-alps-1.3 ( http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/psmouse-alps-1.3.tbz/view ) works well on a Dell Precision M4700 - I'm unsure which alps model this is.

I followed the instructions listed here: http://nwoki.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/multitouch-fix-for-alps-touchpad/ which may be helpful for other newcomers (though you don't need to patch the alps.c in 1.3 as it has been updated already).

Thanks to all involved in writing the patches, you're keeping Linux alive (and damn Dell for flunking out on driver support).
