[Bug 529901] [NEW] HP 311 touchpad not recognised

[Mark Eaton]

Public bug reported:

I have the HP mini 311 which has a touchpad (I believe it is an ALPS)
that is not recognised as a touchpad but shows up as a geneic PS/2
mouse. Since it appears as a generic mouse it isn't possible to
configure the touchpad features such as disabling the touchpad when
typing. The problem is present in Karmic, but I tried the alpha3 of
lucid and the same problem exists there.

In /proc/bus/input/devices I see the followin two devies
