Edge scrolling is there.. multitouch I've not managed to get working... yet.  
Maybe I was a little quick to say "All working as it should".. apologies for 
that.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and updated Kernel to 3.0.6. Now there is 
no tab for a touchpad at all in system settings, and this is what I get from 
xinput:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                     id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                     id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse                id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sony Vaio Keys                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                   id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ UVC Camera (064e:2100)                      id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Any solutions, guys?

Do you still have "options psmouse proto=imps" somewhere in your
modules settings?

Finally got the touchpad of Sony Vaio VPCF120FL working as supposed to with 
Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and kernel 3.1.1, compiled with patch from:
    http://www.absence.it/vaio-acpi/source/patches/vaio-full-3.0.4.patch
and according to instructions in this blog post:
    http://duopetalflower.blogspot.com/2011/10/custom-64-bit-ubuntu-kernel-31.html
Also needed to install psmouse driver from:
    http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb

This is what I get now from xinput:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Mouse                                id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint                  id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ VGP-BMS33                                 id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                 id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sony Vaio Keys                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                   id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ UVC Camera (05ca:18ba)                      id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]

The Touchpad tab shows up now in the Mouse control panel applet.  Vertical and 
horizontal scrolling, on the edges, works, and also disabling the touchpad when 
typing.  Multitouch scrolling doesnt seem to be working in this model.

Also look at the patch in this ubuntu forum which fixed it for me
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/737051?comments=all

contains a deb file to install. Fixes everything on Vaio VPC-F13M1E/H laptop

Just a heads up (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).  The touchpad is 
correctly detected as an "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" upto and including kernel 
v3.1.7, however, it regresses back to the "generic mouse" in kernel v3.2.0.  
Multitouch still does not function in 3.1.7.
