[Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Version 0.3 of the psmouse-alps-dkms package is now available at:

  http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.3
/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.3_all.deb

Changes since v2:

* Improved cleanup after trackstick initialization errors

* Driver should still load if trackstick initialization fails

* Multitouch support for v3 protocol touchpads

* Filter out occasional "zero pressure" reports from hardware. These
were causing random release events to be sent to userspace, which could
appear as apparent clicks when dragging on the touchpad.

Hemanti: The first two changes are targeted at your issues. Even though
you don't have a trackstick, it appears that occasionally on your
hardware something is gong wrong with the trackstick check. As long as
that's all that's going wrong the new version shouldn't cause the
complete failures you were seeing before, but there could be a deeper
underlying problem. Please let me know how it works, and keep an eye out
for "trackstick E7 report failed" messages in dmesg.

Note that multitouch support is for *v3 only.* v4 has some difficulties
that need to be overcome, and I plan to focus on getting everything else
solid before working on that.

I think the driver is currently very close to finished, so everyone
please give this newest version a try and let me know how it works.
Thanks!
