ALPS touchpad only working as PS2/Mouse on Acer TimelineX

Hi,

I have a TimelineX notebook and the touchpad only works as normal ps2/mouse,
after adding the following to the model_data the touchpad is correctly detected by
the system as ALPS device...

{ { 0x73, 0x02, 0x64 }, 0xf8, 0xf8,
0 }, /* Acer Aspire TimelineX */

Now the device is also detected by Xorg as alps mouse. Scrolling and double tap
etc. doesn't work, although that may be a case of picnic, although I'm not sure,
since gsynaptics shows the scroll as enabled.

The E6/E7 detection report from debug enabled alps.c

Feb 5 14:07:00 freshlulz kernel: alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64
Feb 5 14:07:00 freshlulz kernel: alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 64

The DSDT file is attached. The relevant section of the dsdt

Device (PS2M)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("SYN1B22"))
Name (_CID, Package (0x03)
{
EisaId ("SYN1B00"),
EisaId ("SYN0002"),
EisaId ("PNP0F13")
})
Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, )
{12}
})
}


Regards,
Reza
