I have the same problem with an old vintage Sony Vaio PCG-R505JL, From my research in the kernel lists, it seems that, for 2.6.11 maintainer selected to disable the hardware double tapping of Alps touchpad, in favor of doing it by software in the driver, as the kernel message says.
Unfotunately it does not work well for most people like us, so in new kernel version 2.6.12, when released, the driver eill return to use hardware tapping. Until them you can try use the psmouse proto=imps, as suggested in the Fedora list (as an option to kernel in grub or lilo if psmouse is in kernel, or as an option to module, in modprobe,conf). In any way for me it does not worked !?!?
