I've had the same issue as LiKwiiD. I installed the psmouse-alps-dkms and couldn't get it to work. sudo rmmod psmouse and sudo modprobe psmouse hung the system. On reboot the mouse wasn't detected. After purging the package, but the touchpad is still not usable, it's not appearing at all in 'xinput list' now.
