** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
  
  I have HP Pavillion dm1 (1030s or something), with an ALPS touchpad.
  The touchpad has never been correctly identified, but it provides a ps2
  mouse emulation, which has worked.  The sensitivity is horrible, but
  I've learned to live with that. Upgrading to natty, edge scrolling and
  emulate3buttons disappeared, so I thought I'd investigate.
  
  The current situation is as follows:
  
  'modprobe psmouse' module gives (in dmesg):
  
  [351174.694720] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input23
  [351174.719260] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input24
  
  'xinput list':
  ⎜   ↳ PS/2 Mouse                                id=15   [slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint                  id=16   [slave  pointer  (2)]
  
  After enabling ShmConfig in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, I can run 'synclient -m 1':
-     time     x    y   z f  w  l r u d m     multi  gl gm gr gdx gdy
-    0.000     0    0   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000
+     time     x    y   z f  w  l r u d m     multi  gl gm gr gdx gdy
+    0.000     0    0   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000
  
  ...but nothing further happens, even if I move the pointer around with
  the touchpad or click buttons, etc.
  
  So that's where it stands.  How can I configure the touchpad so that it
  is visible, and I can configure things like sensitivity?
