[ltp] R61 touchpad not recognized in Ubuntu

[Sébastien Mazy]

The last comment from Dmitry Torokhov shows that we're far from
getting functional touchpad AND trackpoint. Thank you ALPS :(

Ugo, I just used the default configuration from readme.alps for synaptics :

#Touchpad
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier     "Mouse1"
	Driver         "synaptics"
	Option         "AlwaysCore"  # trackpoint is core pointer
	#Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
	Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mouse2" # trackpoint is /dev/input/mouse1
	Option         "Protocol" "auto-dev"
	Option         "LeftEdge" "120"
	Option         "RightEdge" "830"
	Option         "TopEdge" "120"
	Option         "BottomEdge" "650"
	Option         "FingerLow" "14"
	Option         "FingerHigh" "15"
	Option         "MaxTapTime" "180"
	Option         "MaxTapMove" "110"
	Option         "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
	Option         "VertScrollDelta" "20"
	Option         "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
	Option         "MinSpeed" "0.3"
	Option         "MaxSpeed" "0.75"
	Option         "AccelFactor" "0.015"
	Option         "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
	Option         "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
	Option         "UpDownScrolling" "1"
	Option         "CircularScrolling" "1"
	Option         "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
	Option         "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
