*** Please type your report below this line ***
As noticed in bug report #452752
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452752) there was a
need to patch the file drivers/input/mouse/alps.c in order to make the
touch pad's scroll work in some laptops.

At that time it was said that the patch was going to be included in the
2.6.24 kernel.

I installed Debian Lenny in a new Dell 1420 and after installation
upgraded the kernel to 2.6.24-1-amd64 but the touch pad's scroll does not
work. So I downloaded the kernel source to apply the patch that was
working in another Dell inspiron 1420 with kernel 2.6.22 and noticed that the
patch was already applied but with a small change.

In the current 2.6.24 source the patched line (line 36) says:

{ { 0x73, 0x02, 0x50 }, 0xcf, 0xcf, ALPS_FW_BK_1 } /* Dell Vostro 1400
*/

However the patch I was applying to 2.6.22 says:

{ { 0x73, 0x02, 0x50 }, 0x4f, 0x4f, ALPS_FW_BK_1 } /* Dell Vostro 1400
*/

So I changed it, recompiled and reinstalled the mouse drivers, but the
scroll still doesn't work.

Then I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.25-2-amd64 but the scroll didn't work
either.

P.D.: Please don't pay attention to the "hardy" entry in "APT policy" it appears because of a repository I must add in order to install wxFormBuilder, there is no Debian package for that, but that repository only has the wxFormBuilder package.
