I am looking at 2 laptops with an Alps touchpad and Fedora 15 + Gnome 3: 1) Dell Inspiron 1764 with Intel Core i5-430M 2) Dell Vostro 3750 with Intel Core i5-2410M (Sandy Bridge)
1) is almost 2 years older than 2) so I suspect the same goes for the Alps Electric touchpad. On both laptops the Alps is "recognized" as a PS/2 mouse. In general this works good though I have not checked if all the functionality of the touchpad is available. My question concerns the entry "Mouse and Touchpad" under "System Settings" (gnome-control-center). In 1) clicking on this icon gives you a configuration window with entries for mouse AND touchpad (with rather skimpy options). In 2) clicking on this icon ONLY shows a mouse configuration window. Why this difference? It also shows up in the hardware listings. On 1) I find PS/2 mouse AND Alps. On 2) I only see PS/2 mouse. Newer Alps? Sandy Bridge?
