Arch Linux

Description:

The touchpad on these laptops is only recognised as a standard PS/2 mouse by X11. Using the patch supplied at [0] with the stock kernel from ABS makes it properly detected (applying it last, if it makes any difference). The stick is also getting recognised at the same time.

Steps to reproduce:
* Use a Dell Latitude E6320
* Boot on core/linux 3.0.7-1
* Start X
* The touchpad is recognised as a PS/2 Generic Mouse
