*sigh* I am not really happy about this, as we making boot longer and longer
for people without ALPS touchpads. It would be better if we only reset the
mouse when we knew we are dealing with ALPS, and even better if we only reset
it when we suspected that we missed trackstick. Any chance of doing this?

Thanks.
