Dell Inspiron 15: Touchpad edge scrolling needs xf86-input-synaptics

Putting this here for the benefit of the next person who faces this issue - since dmesg said

input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input12

I didn't think I needed a synaptics driver. (And since the basic touchpad functionality worked out of the box, it didn't strike me that I was missing anything in xorg-*; I thought I'd just configured the touchpad wrong.) Took me a lot of googling to find out I needed xf86-input-synaptics, after which everything just worked.

(Also I believe the Inspiron 15 is a rebranded Inspiron 1545, so that probably has an ALPS Glidepoint too)
