As a Debian Squeeze user, I wanted to let you all know that Andrew's patch from #151 did the trick. I've got vertical scrolling agian. I can't configure the touchpad using gsynaptics, but I don't really care as long as vertical scrolling is back.

I manually patched the 2.6.32 source using the 'make' instructions from https://confluence.nau.edu/display/\~cmg238\@nau.edu/Recognize+ALPS+Touchpad+on+Dell+E6510+in+Ubuntu

On a side note, this kind of rapid development has me wondering if I should switch back to Ubuntu. I couldn't find *anyone* on the Debian side doing anything to try and fix this ALPS Touchpad issue. Kudos to Andrew and everyone else in this thread!
