Dear All,

I've just installed Fedora 10 on my Dell Latitude E4300, but I cannot 
get the touchpad and the stick recognized by Fedora.
I've tried the live CD of Ubuntu 8.10 where it recognized both as AlpsPS/2.

What do I have to change to make it work?

On Fedora 10
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
...
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0000
N: Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0

U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event7
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

while on Ubuntu
