@J. McDonald:

Good find! I would appreciate it if someone could test if blacklisting
psmouse solves the issue. Be aware though, that if you blacklist psmouse
and the alps driver still isn't working, then you may have difficulties
in the desktop session :). If you find yourself in this situation,
switch to a VT using 'ctrl+alt+1', log in, and use "sudo rm
/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad" to delete the blacklist. Then run 'sudo
restart gdm' to start the X desktop again.

The maintainer of the input subsystem of the kernel noted that this
could also be due to a new ALPS protocol. If that's the case, we may
have difficulties determining how to talk to these new mice.
