Dell Latitude E6410: Touchpad Scrolling
G'day list,
I have a Dell Latitude E6410 and after months of putting up with no
touchpad scrolling out of sheer laziness I've decided to bite the
bullet and try to get it going.
I'm running Debian Squeeze (amd64) on the stock kernel. I'm trying to
apply the patch which has been widely circulated for about 18 months
now. This patch can be found here (the instructions seem to be for
Ubuntu): http://budts.be/weblog/2010/12/dell-latitude-e6510-screen-and-touchpad
I've downloaded the patch, and am trying to apply it. However I'm not
having much success:

Has anyone managed to get this going? I'd greatly appreciate any
pointers which anyone may be able to give. Please let me know if
there's anything else you would like to see.
