This is still an ongoing issue even after upgrading to Artful and latest kernel releases. The kernel still intermittently detects the mouse differently. Even when it DOES detect it as an ETPS/2 Touchpad, using the device caused the cursor to jump around and click without pressing to click.

Sometimes it shows up as ETPS/2, sometimes PS/2, sometimes Logitech Wheelmouse... Most of the time it shows as "PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" but none of the multitouch (2 finger scroll, 3 finger middle-click) can be set up. synclient says no device is present.
