Public bug reported: I have Dell Studio 1535 laptop with Alps touchpad. Scrolling in right part of the touchpad usually works, but sometimes it just does not. When it is not working, touchpad tab is not shown in mouse configuration tool in gnome and there is no way to enable the scrolling again. I have to reboot (sometimes several times) so that the scrolling works again.
