Fix: For ALPS Touchpad

run CD 1:

type:

linux i8042.nomux

press enter (installer will then work with touchpad)

once installed you'll need a USB or PS/2 mouse plugged in or if u can work wit out it fine, eg pressing ctrl + F1,

login as root

edit /etc/grub.conf by adding i8042.nomux to the boot up line

root=LABEL=/ acpi=on apm=on i8042.nomux

save and reboot (or go init 3 and then go to init 5)

(seems 2.4 Kernel was fine without this line) but new kernel 2.6 from what i read its a bug of some sort that i8042.nomux tells the kernel to bypass
