Alps Touchpad Driver Linux
Alps Dell Touchpad
Same problem here with my Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG. Its Alps touchpad is recognized as generic mouse. Vertical scrolling does work, horizontal scrolling doesn't. Also, no multitouch.There are complaints all over the internet about this (or a similar) issue since several years. Looks like nobody has found a real solution yet, though after every other kernel update they say they fixed it.Almost the same problem here, Acer Aspire One 721. Vertical scrolling doesn't work on mine at all. I'd be so happy if it did.
Gah I also have an ALPS touchpad, but it doesn't work here. Did you have to do anything else after installing the package, like tweak xorg.conf? Getting vertical scrolling to work would so make my week. I have an Acer aspire one 721.No, xorg.conf is not involved.

You need to have xorg input modules (xf86-input-synaptics I think) installed. If you have version v6-1 of my package it does not work out of the box. You may a) reboot, b) reload psmouse (modprobe -r psmouse; modprobe psmouse) or c) install v6-2. I have a similar problem with a sony vaio SB. My touchpad is recognized as a PS2 generic mouse and I don't have the touchpad tab in mouse settings.However, vertical scrolling works (other options do not, like horizontal scrolling, disable to type or multitouch)I tried the aur package and my touchpad was recognized as a AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (with the same xinput list as whitehorn).
The problem is that I lost the vertical scrolling (I tried some tweaks with gpointing-device-settings and xorg without success).I removed the psmouse-elantech package: back to starting point!! I will follow this post if someone find a trick to enable the extras options.Thanks to eworm to give us some hope. # xinput list⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 master pointer (3)⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 slave pointer (2)⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=12 slave pointer (2)⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 slave pointer (2)Still no vertical scrolling though. Now to see if some tweaking will get it to workSame here! When disabling the PS/2 Mouse pointer, the touchpad stops working completely. It seems like the touchpad is still not properly detected but the driver is loaded anyways. Tried multiple variants of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf with no success.
In fact when I define an 'InputDevice' instead of an 'InputClass', the driver isn't loaded anymore.Gotta keep on waiting and hoping, I guess.

Dell basically shipped a new touchpad from alps, where previous alps drivers don't work. It uses a new protocol to use the multi-finger touch pad.
Alps (or dell) doesn't care about giving the drivers to linux distros.a team tried to reverse engineer the windows drivers to get it working in linux. And here's what they came up with.place the psmouse-alps-dst-0.4 folder in /usr/src (u need root permission).in terminal ( Ctrl+ Alt+ T), run # sudo bash /usr/src/psmouse-alps-dst-0.4/install.sh.configure touch pad in system settings:-).
