Descargen este .deb que solo funciona en sistema a 64bits.

Despues instalen java jre para su respectiva configuracion.

I saw in a different discussion thread that people had success with psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb which I installed and my touchpad is FINALLY now recognized with full scroll and tap-to-click configurability enabled. So for anyone using a debian-based release, give it a try

I am positive the hardware supports it because it works in Windows with the drivers, but does not in Linux. The lack of proper Linux Alps driver support is the issue.

It’s my main machine and I have recently abandoned windows. While I have been using linux for about a year the touchpad scrolling problem has been one that I have not been able to fix. Today I decided to solve it once and for all. Not much luck to be had, except for these patches. I am very interested in hearing if it works. But as I don’t want to mess things up I would like to know does the fact that it’s no longer regarded as ps/2 mean that 2finger scrolling will work?

All the best. I hope this eventually gets fixed for good.

E6250? Did you mean the E6520?

This patch resolved a similar issue I had with Dell Latitude E6250 (Fedora 15, kernel 2.6.38.8).
