Hi Leann,

I have now tried alpha 5 but it has not altered the problem I have with the
touchpad
on my Zepto Znote 3215W with an elantech touchpad.

Prior to my recent attempts to get this working i had been emailing
Arjan Opmeer who developed the elantech patch.

At one point he said this :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, I spot a problem. Unfortunately the Elantech touchpad does not seem to
report finger pressure. (Or maybe it can be enabled by toggling some other
undocumented bit somewhere that I haven't been able to figure out?)
Therefore all clicks get reported with a default pressure that the driver
picks. As you can see in elantech.h I kind of randomly chose to use 128 out
of a maximum of 255. These values seemed to work for me.

This means that altering Finger{High,Low,Press} (or any setting that depends
on a pressure value) will not give you the result you want. What worked for
me was altering MaxTapTime to a value that suited my personal clicking
style.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have found that editing xorg.conf does nothing, in fact nothing seems to
alter this.
I assume it is because the value is set and cannot therefore be altered
dynamically.
Hence setting MaxTapTime to 0 makes no difference.
Because of this I have rmmod psmouse in /etc/rc.local and am using a
wireless usb mouse.

I have also found that sound is at a very low level. maximum levels on all
controls makes it barely audible.

Thanks,

Norman
