Hi everyone, my problem was that the touchpad was recognized and showed
up in mouse settings and gpointing devices as "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
(additionally to a PS/2 mouse I hadn't even connected), but still I
wasn't able to scroll (neither edge nor 2-finger ) no matter if I
switched that setting on or not. The touchpad even worked when I
disabled it using gpointing-devices. Now, I tried your driver, Seth, but
after reboot, I couldn't use the touchpad anymore at all. So
unfortunately, I couldn't use the dump program or the x_y-values either.
If you need that information, I could find it out with a live cd though.

I'm using a HP dm4-2000sg and am currently on a natty live usb to try
since on the oneiric I have on my hard drive neither the mouse nor the
keyboard work anymore in X11 after installing the driver. Not even after
removing it and reinstalling xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-input*.

Attached you'll find my dmesg output. Is it possible the driver isn't
even written for my touchpad? I just noted a difference in the name
(GlidePoint vs. DualPoint). Note that it still registers as 73 02 64
according to dmesg. Or is that because of the driver?
