As bug 727259 (affects a Dell M4500) was helped by the fix to bug 754344, I think that means it has an ALPS trackpad.

Whereas I think your result with tpconfig means you have a Synaptics trackpad. So I don't think these two are dupes.

The workaround I suggested to bug 727259 actually only disables the touchpad during typing: it doesn't help with setting touchpad options and so doesn't disable tap to click or tap and drag. Nonetheless, it helped me.

I've put the source and binary here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3285944/touchpad-fixup-tool.tgz

My own bug 755518 could be related to this one - tpconfig is showing the same firmware. I followed the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection which advise against marking as duplicates.
