[Bug 616605] [NEW] hp dm1z ALPS touchpad not detected, scroll doesn't work

[Mike M]

Public bug reported:

I have a HP dm1z-2000 laptop, and the touchpad is detected as a generic
device, not ALPS/Synaptic as it should (I believe on this machine it is
an ALPS touchpad).  As a result, functions like vertical scroll do not
work.  In the System -> Preferences -> Mouse settings, Touchpad does not
appear.

After reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad, I decided to open
this bug because it seems like a real issue.  Also noticed that others
were having similar problems on different laptops, but according to the
Ubuntu Wiki, it said to open a new bug report anyway.

I am on Ubuntu 10.04, and the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics driver is at
1.2.2-1ubuntu4, and the linux kernel is 2.6.32-24.39.

I have attached all the outputs recommended by the Wiki and Launchpad.

Thanks.
