I'm running Fedora 14 with 2.6.35 and by default it's just recognized as a mouse. I found a patch on the web at: https://confluence.nau.edu/display/~cmg238@nau.edu/Recognize+ALPS+Touchpad+on+Dell+E6510+in+Ubuntu It appears similar (but not identical) to the patch that was added for the HP Pavilion dm3 but then backed out. With the patch applied, the kernel appears to recognize it as a DualPoint Stick and a DualPoint Touchpad. On this particular machine the stick doesn't seem to be actually wired up, but the trackpad looks visually identical to the E6510. However, even after it was recognized I haven't yet been able to get scrolling to work, and "synclient -m 100" doesn't give anything useful--but various comments have led me to wonder if it actually should at this point. So what's the deal here? Is someone working on getting full support for these things? Should "synclient -m 100" work? Thanks, Chris
