[Bug 829799] [NEW] Alps GlidePoint Touchpad behaves strangely

 

Public bug reported:

I've installed an updated my new Vaio VPC-SB today which does have this
Touchpad which allows two finger wipes in Windows - so I'm suspecting it
to be a multitouch touchpad.

However booting Ubuntu i can' move the cursor correctly - most of the time it tends to move right when moving on the touchpad.
In addition it's flickering a little bit up and down. Which makes overall the Touchpad unuseable - at least at this point.
