Title:
  Touchpad incorrectly detected as PS/2 mouse on Dell Inspiron 15R N5110

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is likely a kernel problem, but I couldn't figure out which
  package to file it against if it is.  I know others have had this bug,
  but I haven't seen it reported from this hardware.

  I'm on a Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) laptop.  It says to specify the
  manufacturer of the touchpad, but I can't find it.  It said "Synaptics
  touchpad" in a review, and from my googlings I've seen Alps mentioned.

  In any case, it's not detected as a touchpad, but as a PS/2 mouse, and
  thus two finger scrolling and other multitouch features don't work.
  There's no touchpad tab in System > Administration > Mouse.

  I've attached the output of these commands:

  $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
  $ xinput --list
  $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.  Here's the output of uname -a:

  Linux morsan 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC
  2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
