Explode the tarball:

cd $HOME
mkdir Stage
tar -jxvf $HOME/Download/psmouse-alps-dst-0.1.tbz

This will make a $HOME/Stage/README that should explain everything.  It
has a couple embedded scripts to build/install the DLKM.  I forgot to
document the DLKM source needs to be put under /usr/src:

cd $HOME/Stage
sudo cp -Rvup usr / 

BTW, you need sudo rights.  Look in $HOME/Stage/README for the
build_alps shell function to build/probe the driver.  See man:dkms for
more info.

As far as I'm aware, my psmouse DLKM will work for Dell N5110 ONLY
because it has a whacky control response code.  For entering command
mode it expects 0x73 0x01 where all the prior ALPS touchpad models
expect 0x88 0x07 so it's hardcoded in the driver.
