Title:
  AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

  Hello,
  I have xubuntu 8.10 running in my toshiba satellite m100 and currently mostly every except the touchpad is working.  no movement, no scrolling, no clicking. So the USB mouse is my only choice.

  xorg.conf is "default", and SHMconfig is enabled using HAL. gsynaptics
  runs fine.

  $ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  <deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <device>
    <match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
     <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
    </match>
   </device>
  </deviceinfo>

  from `dmesg`:
  [   17.585887] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input10
