This is my section for the R61's ALPS Pad

/proc/bus/input/devices must list:
...
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS/DualPoint TouchPad"
...
N: Name="DualPoint Stick"
...
Otherwise it only works both in legacy PS2 mouse emu mode.
The rest of my input config looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Trackpointer0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/trackpointer"
EndSection
I isolated the trackpointer device. This is not really needed
and a normal /dev/input/mice rule would do the job as well. If
you want to isolate it as well for some reason you need this
udev rule:
KERNEL=="mouse*", SUBSYSTEMS=="input", ATTRS{name}=="DualPoint Stick", SYMLINK+="input/trackpointer"
Sadly it is _NOT_ possible to use the real trackpointer driver
like with T61 Synaptics devices. So special trackpoint
sensitivity options are not possible, only basic mouse funcs.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB
Receiver"
EndSection
This is just my external USB mouse with 9 buttons. It needs the
evdev driver to work.
