Okay, I don't suspect the v3/v4 protocol support is likely to work then.

The alps driver will detect and handle raw PS/2 mouse data, so what it
sounds like to me is that the alps driver manages to attach to your
device but doesn't get it sending absolute data packets. As a result the
driver is only passing relative motion data instead of absolute position
data, which means the touchpad is usable but still can't support any
touchpad features like edge scrolling.

So it sounds like we don't know how to talk to your touchpad, and
there's no trivial way to add support for it to the driver. There's
not really anything more I can do to help since I don't have access to
the hardware.
