I have a Sony Vaio VPCF11 which also uses the AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (E7: 73 02 64) running Kubuntu 10.04 beta 2. My problems with the touchpad are identical to Mary's. xinput list-props shows a large list of touchpad properties. Furthermore, changes that are made in the KDE touchpad GUI are reflected in the output of xinput list-props. xinput test "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" shows no response from the touchpad while xinput test "PS/2 Mouse" outputs the relative movements and button press events of the touchpad.
