It should show one input device for the trackstick, and one input
device for the touchpad:

[397682.041027] input: DualPoint Stick as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input17
[397682.054959] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input18

I'm not sure what would cause it to register two identical touchpads;
I don't see that on either E6230 or E6430.  Did you build psmouse.ko
from my DKMS sources, or apply the patches on top of some other
baseline?

OK - I do see this on E6230 but not E6430.  Normal usage is fine but
the "pressed finger" test fails on E6230.  I'll do some digging and
try to figure out why.

In another thread [1] it was mentioned that the ALPS_BITMAP_*
constants needed to be tweaked for the Rushmore touchpads.  This might
be related.

I also saw some "lost sync" errors in the kernel log on E6430 after
running for a few days, but I don't know how to reproduce the issue.
They did not seem to be associated with any obvious touchpad
misbehavior.
