For your convenience I report here the list of commands needed to recompile the module:
1) Install kernel headers: recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
this creates a "linux- [your-version] " directory into your home
install git:
sudo apt-get install git
change into it: input/mouse
cd src/drivers/
and backup alps.c, alps.h, psmouse.h
apply patch (take the patch from entry #154 above):
patch -p0 < 2.6.35- alps-730264- imps-emulation. patch
make & install: drivers/ input/mouse/
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` psmouse.ko
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo cp psmouse.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
sudo modprobe psmouse
