Hello everyone,

I have made a patch that adds semi-mt support to v4 Alps touchpads.
Unfortunately it is quite buggy.

On my Vaio the Left Half of the Touchpad is quite erratic (synclient -m 10
shows f alternating constantly between 1 and 2 fingers with one finger touching
it).

The right Half of the Touchpad (i.e. if x>1000 in synclient -m x) works as
intended (two finger scrolling/taps and three fingers are recognized).

I have used the Documentation from Seth Forshee and essentially copied his
work.

I would really appreciate it if someone could finalize the patch.
I hope Seth could revisit this :)

P.S. I am not a programmer (I guess programmers will understand this) :)
