I bought a new laptop the other day - an HP 510 - and put Debian Etch on it, and it doesn't find the touchpad.

The touchpad isn't in /proc/bus/input/devices and it doesn't generate any output if I cat the nodes in /dev/input (nor the useful-looking ones in /dev, especially /dev/psaux as mentioned in xorg.conf). It isn't mentioned in syslog even with udev set to debug messages.
I don't really know enough about the device to set udev rules or use mknod; I'm not even sure which bus it's on.
Anyone got any ideas?
What does the output of dmesg say, in particular anything with "PS/2" or serio mentioned?
