Hi quarara, I have the same hardware (Dell Inspiron 15r) and ubuntu 11.10 release.
My touchpad was working in a super basic (move and click) mode. After reading all the comments I got it working by installing Seth's psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb from comment #492. Now I have: - touchpad preferences in system settings - two finger vertical and horizontal scroll - tow finger right-click Seth Rocks!
