@Charles: Yes. PAE extension isn't harmful, you can use it just as well.
It only allows more than 4GB RAM on a 32bit machine.

@Sebastian: I sort of debugged the problem, it's definitely the driver,
not X or WM. Try following:

Exit X (so your /dev/input devices are not grabbed) and run (from package 
input-utils) as root:
# input-events -t 120 X & input-events -t 120 Y
(X = evdev number of TouchPad, Y = Stick; find these using lsinput)

This is how it should work:

1) push PadLeft ->  EV_KEY BTN_LEFT pressed
2) push StickLeft -> EV_KEY BTN_LEFT pressed
5) release StickLeft -> EV_KEY BTN_LEFT released
4) release PadLeft -> EV_KEY BTN_LEFT released

Now ALPS has a definite bug:

1) push PadLeft ->  EV_KEY BTN_LEFT pressed
2) push StickLeft -> EV_KEY BTN_LEFT pressed
4) release StickLeft -> NO event!
   - now you can click StickLeft like mad, no events!
5) release PadLeft -> EV_KEY BTN_LEFT released

At this point, PadLeft has correct state, but StickLeft is incorrectly
"pressed" for the input subsystem. Until you click it or generate any
other Stick event.

You can switch 4) and 5) to break PadLeft state instead.
