[Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've uploaded a new version of the driver, available at:

  http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.2
/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.2_all.deb

(Max: you can find patches in the same directory as the deb package,
which is true for the previous version as well.)

What's new in this release:

* The driver will now work on machines without tracksticks (hopefully, I
don't have hardware to test this on).

* The driver now supports more hardware than previously. Specifically,
it supports the touchpad on the Acer Aspire One 532h, and hopefully
there are other machines using similar devices.

* Trackstick sensitivity has been tuned down. I'm not usually a
trackstick user, so feedback on the performance is appreciated.

* Multitouch support has been temporarily removed. It needs reworking in
light of some limitations of the Aspire One 532h touchpad.

* The driver fails more gracefully when something goes wrong. This
should mean that you won't be left with a non-functional touchpad if the
driver doesn't work on your machine.

Please test and let me know how it works. I'm still accepting alps-reg-
dump reports as well, preferably including the max ABS_X and ABS_Y
values reported by input-events. Note that input-events needs to be run
in a virtual terminal to produce output, as Xorg  prevents any other
application from getting events from the touchpad. To switch to a
virtual terminal, press Ctrl-Alt-F1, and when your done press Ctrl-
Alt-F7 to get back to your graphical environment.

Thanks for testing!
