[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

[mikeos]

I suppose most of people would agree a Latitude ON and all the other SplashTop derivatives is a useless feature, purely a marketing thing. However since the manufacturer does ship this feature in their flagship Laptops equipped with the ALPS "0x73, 0x02, 0x64" touchpad, they're obliged to provide a full touchpad experience, not just a crippled compatibility mode - there's even a web browser in the Latitude ON where standard scrolling touchpad features are used heavily.
Once it is confirmed the touchpad really does not work correctly within this environment, I'd suggest to  escalate the issue to the Dell support classified as a critical bug subject of a money back guarantee.
