[Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've posted a new version with just a few changes for debugging problems
that have been reported, available at:

http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.7
/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.7_all.deb

Anyone whose machine has a trackstick, please check that the mouse
buttons just below the keyboard (above the tochpad) are working and let
me know if they do not. Especially anyone using a Dell Latitude E6510.

Hemanti: For your stray click problem I added in optional packet
dumping, disabled by default. To enable it on your machine, run the
command:

  echo "options psmouse alps_dump_packets=1" | sudo tee
/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

Then install the 0.7 package, and finally unload and reload the psmouse
module. The next time you see a stray click after this, stop using the
touchpad *immediately*, switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F1),
and run 'dmesg > dmesg-stray-click.txt'. Then you can switch back to
your desktop using Ctrl-Alt-F7, and dmesg-stray-click.txt here. To stop
logging the packets you can remove the /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
file.

Petr: I actually only have one report of the trackstick buttons being
reported in the trackstick packet, but the hardware was no longer in the
possession of the reporter. So in this build I've removed the reporting
of buttons from the trackstick packet and am only looking in the
touchpad packets, reporting them on the trackstick device. Can you
verify this fixes your issue?
