Hi Jeremy,

I got the same results as Josh, but I don't think 2.6.33 solves the problem - 
it is just old (from 25-Feb-2010) and doesn't recognize the touchpad same as 
2.6.32-18 and older 2.6.32 kernels.
My guess is that with these kernels the touchpad is not recognized and a 
generic driver is loaded with which the vertical scrolling is working. But 
because the settings are not editable other features such as disabling tapping 
while typing and scrolling using multitouch gestures can't be used.

Here is the outcome of my tries:

v2.6.33 - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/
Same as 2.6.32-18 - the vertical scrolling *is* working, the touchpad is not 
recognized and the settings are not editable (same as shown in 
touchpad_2.6.32-18.png)

v2.6.34-rc6-lucid - 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc6-lucid/
Same as 2.6.32-19 - the vertical scrolling *is not* working, the touchpad is 
recognized, the settings are editable, but don't take any effect (same as shown 
in touchpad_2.6.32-19.png)

v2.6.34-rc1 - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc1/
Couldn't boot with this kernel.

Regards,
Rocky
