Bug Description

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

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0

U: Uniq=
