Public bug reported:
Hello,
So far I've been having a problem with my Elantech multitouch trackpad in
Linux. Basically all i get is right click, left click, and tap to click, along
with basic movement. The problem seems to be rooted in improper detection of
the trackpad, likely b/c its a new revision or whatnot. Of note is that working
elantech trackpads of the past in forums i scouted through show up as "ETPS/2
Elantech Touchpad". Mine just shows up in xinput as "PS/2 Elantech Touchpad". I
think this might be a simple fix in the end, just improper detection, I hope.
For reference, I've tried kernel 3.5 on Ubuntu 12.10 and kernel 3.8.0-17 on
Ubuntu 13.04 thus far, with all combinations of psmouse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's expected: touchpad multitouch support
What happened: basic touchpad support
Laptop mode: Samsung Series 7 NP780 series
Ubuntu distro(s) tested: Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04
Kernels used: 3.5 signed (Ubuntu 12.10 default), 3.8.0-16, 3.8.0-17 signed

psmouse-alps-dst. No improvements so removed.
