*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 550625 ***

This reported bug *is* different from #550625 and I am still affected.
I have a Dell E6510 and am running Oneiric. It's not that my
trackpad is recognized and mis-behaving, which is what bug #550625
is about. Instead, it's not even recognized. The work-around I
currently use is to disable the "mouse" when I'm typing, and then
re-enable it when I'm done (using xmonad key binding).
I installed the patch above (for #550625) and it does *NOT* solve
my problem -- the tracpad is still unrecognized. What is really
irritating is that simply floating *over* the tracpad seems to
cause irratic behavior (similar to what is reported in #550625).
