Just to reiterate, with current kernel versions in Lucid beta 2 over the last couple of days, edge scrolling is disabled, it is selectable from "Mouse Preferences" but selecting or deselecting any option in "Mouse Preferences" has no impact on the trackpads function. I don't use 2-finger scrolling, but I did notice it was grayed-out and I though I should include that description for completeness. Edge scrolling returns when reverting to an older kernel version at time of boot using grub, but if I do this the tab for the trackpad disappears and while it seems to function fine, it no longer appears to be recognized by either "Mouse Preferences" or by "GPointing Device Settings". Using the latest kernel versions (2.6.33-20, -21) the trackpad is definitely showing up as an ALPS GlidePoint within GPointing Device, but as with Mouse Settings none of the selectable options appear to change anything with respect to trackpad function. Thanks again for your assistance with this issue.
