To make it work again, I had to install the package attached in the
comments and edit my 11-x11-synaptics.fdi to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The report only takes Elantech touchpads into consideration, but many
laptops do have the good old Synaptics one. My MSI Wind U100 is from an
early batch that still had the better, Synaptics one.
Now, if the bug needs to be fixed in such a way that all names of all
touchpads need to be included in the *.fdi file, then I must say that it
is a true clusterf*ck. Probably just including Elantech and Synaptics
would fix most configs though.
