I think it's detected as ps2 because there is no ALPs driver

also I think that there is no alps driver because synaptic (whoever they are) or
Dell won't write one because it probably has licensing constraints .... the
software that is already being used for it on windows could be released but is
not.

One thing -- why can't the windows driver be wrapped (not sure if NDISWRAPPER
would work for the touchpad driver).
