** Description changed:

  I have an alps touchpad on my laptop Acer 7741 laptop. It never got
  detected as a touhpad in ubuntu <= 11.04. Finally with 11.10, it finds
  it as a touchpad and in the mouse config I can see a touchpad tab.
  
  Changing the settings in the mouse config do nothing.
  
  xinput -list gives:
  
   Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)   
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]   
    ↳ HP Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse            id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]   
    ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint                    id=13    [slave  pointer  (2)]   
    ↳ PS/2 Mouse                                  id=12    [slave  pointer  (2)]    
  
  (HP optical is my external mouse)
  
  I can modify the sensitivity of the touchpad when I change the PS/2
  mouse settings with xinput.
  
  Changing any of the settings in the touchpad tab of the mouse GUI util
  has no effect.
  
  Disabling the PS/2 mouse disables the touchpad.
  Disabling the AlpsPS/2 glidepoint does nothing.
  
  When I do
  dmesg | grep -i input I get:
  
  [   17.613230] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11    
  [   17.638723] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input12
  
  blacklisting psmouse disables the touchpad.
  
- I can use the tapping and movement features of the touchpad....but side-
- scrolling, multi-touch and most importantly, disable touchpad when
- typing does not work.  These all work in windows.
