Comment 31 for bug 616605

Any chance the patch applied to the kenel in bug 632884 could also be applied to the HP dm1z? It would address this bug. I commented out the model number checking in alps.c in kernel 2.6.38-8-generic so that the quirks are always enabled, and tested the module on my dm1z. No synaptics stuff, but at least the scrolling works with the dell quirks enabled, which makes using the computer MUCH less frustrating. However, I'm not very experienced at this so I'm not sure how to extract the model number of the touchpad to post it so that the dell quirks can be enabled for the dm1z specifically to allow scrolling on this model for everyone. Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help.
