Hello,
A friend has a DELL Inspiron 1525 with an ALPS GlidePoint touchpad. We
have added hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 in his /boot/loader.conf but it
still detected as a standard ps2 mouse.
Looking at sys/dev/atkbdc/psm.c :
461 { MOUSE_MODEL_GLIDEPOINT, /* ALPS GlidePoint */
462 0xc0, MOUSE_PS2_PACKETSIZE, enable_aglide },
I'm guessing if his touchpad has 0xc0 as model, how can I check this?
For the moment there is this in his dmesg:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: [ITHREAD]
psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0
Cheers,

I think it is different than a synaptics. I don't know what problem you are trying to solve, but if you are trying to switch off the "tapping the touchpad" feature, I found an unusual solution two years ago: look at http://www.mavetju.org/mail/view_message.php?list=freebsd-mobile&id=2760915
