I while in VT I confirmed what Tuxinvader found.  This time around
"AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" was at /dev/input/event9 and "PS/2 Mouse" was
at /dev/input/event8.

Like Tuxinvager, I was able to get the trackpad to output but only with

$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event8 | tee evtest2.dump

evtest2.dump is attached. As with the last go round, doing

$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event9 | tee evtest1.dump

gave no output from the trackpad.  I quite with CRTL-C (thanks) and the
resulting evtest1.dump file was empty.  So the ALPS trackpad is using
the PS/2 Mouse driver.  Surprising that it works at all.  Very strange.
Are there any hints in the dmesg or Xorg.0.log?
