evdev:name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDellInc.:pnLatitudeE7470*
EVDEV_ABS_00=39:5856:59
EVDEV_ABS_01=10:1532:29
EVDEV_ABS_35=39:5856:59
EVDEV_ABS_36=10:1532:29

Touchpad AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad on /dev/input/event7
Move one finger around the touchpad to detect the actual edges
Kernel says: x [39..5856], y [10..1532]
Touchpad sends: x [29..2930], y [26..1533] /^C

Touchpad size as listed by the kernel: 98x52mm

Calculated ranges: 2901/1507

Suggested udev rule:

evdev:name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad:dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvr1.17.5:bd07/11/2017:svnDellInc.:pnLatitudeE7470:pvr:rvnDellInc.:rn0T6HHJ:rvrA00:cvnDellInc.:ct9:cvr:*
EVDEV_ABS_00=29:2930:30
EVDEV_ABS_01=26:1533:29
EVDEV_ABS_35=29:2930:30
EVDEV_ABS_36=26:1533:29

Overriding the provided settings in /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-evdev-local.hwdb with:

evdev:name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDellInc.:pnLatitudeE7470*
EVDEV_ABS_00=29:2930:30
EVDEV_ABS_01=26:1533:29
