AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick not correctly assigned

Asked by Pablo Hernandez

Hello, seems that there's a bad assigment of my AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick from kernel to devices list.

Despite it's not listed on the device list, it work like a charm BUT I want to disable it, because the stick is in the middle of the keyboard.

The device is recognized by the kernel:
pablo@loki:~$ dmesg | grep AlpsPS
[ 2.545463] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10
[ 2.558606] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6

But not listed on xlist

pablo@loki:~$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:13 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:13 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ xwayland-keyboard:13 id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]

pablo@loki:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10

Please let me know if this should be submitted as a bug or there's something I can try before.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pablo
