Title:
  Bionic: ALPS GlidePoint uses wrong driver, works badly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The ALPS GlidePoint trackpad on my HP EliteBook 1030 G1 no longer
  works properly on Ubuntu Bionic.

  A similar problem happened with the previous Ubuntu release, but I was
  able to work around it. On both Bionic and Artful, both the hid_alps
  and the psmouse drivers get loaded by default and xinput shows a
  trackpad from both drivers.

  As long as the psmouse driver is loaded, synclient appears to work
  happily, but doesn't do anything and actually only the other driver
  does anything. Xinput and the Xorg logs show the trackpad twice.

  On Artful, forcing psmouse to be the only driver made everything,
  including all the settings available in synaptics tooling work
  perfectly. Now only the hid_alps driver seems to even make the pointer
  move, and there don't seem to be any ways to configure it much at all,
  for instance the speed is barely fast enough to be usable.

  Based on synclient only working with it and the lack of errors in any
  logs that I could think of, psmouse still seems the correct driver. It
  just doesn't make the pointer move any more. I tried installing some
  xserver-xorg-input packages that I didn't have installed, but it made
  the hid_alps driver work worse.

  I was not able to get the old behavior back just by booting the old
  kernel.
