I've just applied the patch referenced in comment #2 to kernel-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.src.rpm, and it works fine for me on my DELL Precision M4500, enabling the scrolling functions.
Having said that, and now having gone through a suspend/resume cycle, the mouse pointer went crazy on resume, so I don't think it's quite there yet.
