Comment 12 for bug 775790

The Alps driver problem on the E6510 I thought was a known issue as it seems to be a problem with many laptops that are running this version of the pad, where there does not seem to be a working version of a Linux driver to solve it. My pad comes up installed as a generic mouse and when typing on the keyboard I get erratic mouse clicks, swipes and so forth. Dell does have an updated Alps driver for Windows on there site but I do not think that there is a Linux equivalent driver available. Was wondering if there is going to be a fixed driver for this version of the pad in 10.x or will not appear until 11.x kernels?
