Title:
  Touchpad recognized as generic mouse

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Laptop Model: Gateway NE72203h
  Touchpad manufacturer: ALPS
  Ubuntu version: 14.04

  In a terminal, the command "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" shows the
  following:

  I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0000
  N: Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"
  P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
  S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input16
  U: Uniq=
  H: Handlers=mouse0 event10 
  B: PROP=0
  B: EV=7
  B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
  B: REL=3

  According to the Ubuntu documentation,
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection) this would be
  would be a problem with the kernel which doesn't recognize the
  touchpad properly.
