Thanks Tommy.  We've been trying to get recent ALPS touchpads
working through Red Hat Bugzilla issue 953211.

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953211

Niels de Vos, CC'd, was kind enough to build a Fedora 19 kernel
with your patch added.  We've been testing it since yesterday.

Your patch works well for several models of laptop (confirmed
success):

 * Dell Inspiron 17R SE / Inspiron 7720
 * Dell Vostro 3360
 * Fujitsu Lifebook AH532

With your patches, the touchpad:

* is recognised as a touchpad
* both KDE and Gnome can control it
* 2 finger scrolling works

That being said, we have conflicting reports about 1 finger
vertical scrolling on the Inspiron 17R SE / Inspiron 7720.

* 1 finger scrolling works on my laptop (Inspiron 17R SE),
  if 2 finger scrolling is NOT enabled in Gnome3 mouse &
  touchpad settings. (seems mutually exclusive)
* 1 finger scrolling does NOT work in KDE (Inspiron 7720)
  * I'm following this up with the reporter, as it may
    turn out to be a KDE settings issue

>From my point of view, I'm be happy to see these patches
be applied, and you're welcome to use:

  Tested-by: Justin Clift <jclift@xxxxxxxxxx>

Side note - Thanks to the people who've tested this and
reported back. :)

* Stanislav Datskevich
* Özgür Gündoğan
* Pentarh Udi
* Arnaud Lacombe
* Gaspard Jankowiak
* myself ;>

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
