Comment 7 for bug 773305

Dell customer support gave me the URL http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WN104&catid=-1&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=FR&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=LAT_E5420&hidos=NAA&hidlang=FR&TabIndex=&scanSupported=False&scanConsent=False from where I downloaded the Touchpad driver package and from there installed alps-driver-psmouse-maverick-dkms_2.6.35.22_all.deb.

There is no documenation so I really don't even know what the driver is supposed to do and why it has the name "psmouse" in it. After installation

$ dkms status
virtualbox-ose, 4.0.4, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed
alps-driver-psmouse-maverick, 2.6.35.22: added

I don't even know if the 2.6.35 series driver is applied to the Natty 2.6.38 kernel, at least the output of "xinput list-props 13" still show the same properties as a PS/2 mouse instead of a touchpad.
