(Get the code!)
I while in VT I confirmed what Tuxinvader found. This time around "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" was at /dev/input/event9 and "PS/2 Mouse" was at /dev/input/event8.
Like Tuxinvager, I was able to get the trackpad to output but only with
$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event8 | tee evtest2.dump
evtest2.dump is attached. As with the last go round, doing
$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event9 | tee evtest1.dump
gave no output from the trackpad. I quite with CRTL-C (thanks) and the resulting evtest1.dump file was empty. So the ALPS trackpad is using the PS/2 Mouse driver. Surprising that it works at all. Very strange. Are there any hints in the dmesg or Xorg.0.log?
