This is a relevant upstream bug
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 and there seems to be
some difficulty in getting an acceptable fix in place.

Linus' tree as mirrrored here does not yet show any change in place:
https://github.com/mirrors/linux-2.6/blob/master/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c

Someone from Dell did submit a (large) patch but it was not accepted.

This has been running since August 2010.  There seem to be issues
concerning suspend/resume and the more general applicability of the
solution. For a specific laptop, your best bet seems to be to apply the
one-line change from bug 754344 (although that doesn't give you a fully
featured touchpad)
