Touchpad not being detected

[MarkAshley]

Hi there, I've been trying to get the Alps touchpad working on my Toshiba Satellite P10-873 running FC4 and have been following the instructions at http://www.fozzilinymoo.org/dispensation/zv5000z.html

I installed the kernel sources, made psmouse a module, compiled and installed the kernel. I rebooted and ran findmouse, but it just said that it was looking for the mouse driver for the X server then didn't do anything else. I have had a look in /proc/bus/input/devices and it only mentions my keyboard. Is there something else I need to do to get the Alps touchpad detected so that findmouse can create the link for it?

Thanks
Mark

Ok, I got this working by disabling acpi.
