I have a Sager NP 4380 with a ALPS touch pad and I cant get it working.
Using gentoo-dev-2.6.9-r1, xorg-6.7.9-r2

Ive tried every thing Ive found on the forms:
-patch kernel w/ alps from synaptics-0.13.6
-cat /dev/* dosent spit out mouse garbage
-added devices in kernel and as modules with no luck with any/all option(s)

At this point Id be happy with a mouse, touch pad, ps2 or serial havent worked for me so far.

Thanks in advance.

Ok I fixed it. I found this on notebookforums.com

Quote:
Ivan Popovski has found that the psaux module does not work correctly on devices capable of multiplexing the PS/2 mouse port. You have such a device if dmesg says

i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.1.

or something like that. Don't be disappointed. By disabling the multiplexing feature of the PS/2 port, my psaux module works again. How?

* If the psmouse is loaded as a module, use the "i8042_nomux=1" parameter when you load that module.
* Most people would have compiled-in the psmouse driver, because the i8042.c also drives the keyboard. In that case, use "i8042.nomux" as a boot parameter.
