I have Alps gui for Mint 7 and it does not control any features. Original mouse icon in control center still controlls the pad. I deployed these instructions, but it doesn’t do much for me.

Use Google to find out how to modify the /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst - same file) and add the above (minus quotes) to the kernel line. You can now use either the default mouse driver or the Synaptics driver described by the blog post above.
