Using ALPS touchpad in my Compaq Mini 311 netbook. I can't use it with synaptics driver because it recognized by kernel as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse", and not as touchpad.
There is similar bug here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13134
And there is resolved by adding just one string with touchpad's hardware signature in "alps.c" driver in kernel, and i think we need a similar solution, but i don't know where to see touchpad's hardware signature (like '0x32, 0x02, 0x14').
I'm tried it on Ubuntu 9.10 and ArchLinux - problems affects.
And ofcourse, touchpad working fine in Weendows.

P.S. sorry for my English.

It has turned out not so simply as I thought.
The hardware id I found in "dmesg | grep psmouse" in Ubuntu:

[    9.591602] psmouse serio1: ID: 73 02 64

For some reason dmesg in ArchLinux dir non show me this.

I added into "alps.c" this string:

...
static const struct alps_model_info alps_model_data[] = {
        { { 0x73, 0x02, 0x64 }, 0x88, 0xff, ALPS_WHEEL },
        { { 0x32, 0x02, 0x14 }, 0xf8, 0xf8, ALPS_PASS | ALPS_DUALPOINT }, /* Toshiba Salellite Pro M10 */
...

but now after loading module "psmouse" appears two devices:
# dmesg
...
[ 5334.058926] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input15
[ 5334.092718] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input16


and when I touching a touchpad or pressing buttons on it, events are incoming from "PS/2 Mouse", and "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" are always silent. I tried load synaptics driver and assotiated it with both "PS/2 Mouse" and "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" devices by HAL, it don't work in both case.
Also, when i'm used "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" before patching alps.c, vertical scroll on touchpad was work fine, but now it is not.
Now i don't know what to do.

Same problem on a HP DM3-1080EF. Tried with Ubuntu 9.10 and ArchLinux.

May be it works on HP DM3-1080EF, but it is not on HP Compaq Mini 311 :(
