Comment 493 for bug 550625

Great work, Seth! I've been following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760142, as my Alps touchpad was not recognised at all, so I thought that this was a different problem. I applied your patch out of curiosity and now my Alps touchpad is recognised correctly and works.
Not sure if this is related, but after the first reboot, when I tried to post a comment, my computer froze completely (unresponsive to touchpad, trackpoint and keyboard) and I had to shut down using the power button. After reboot, touchpad was disabled, but I could re-enable it using my trackpoint and now everything seems to be working. Hope the freeze was just a last hickup...

Would it be possible to change the title of this bug to reflect that the fix also works if the touchpad was NOT recognised at all?

Cheers
Stan
