So, I've looked at this more and ran across the following post by

I was able to do the same and forced the driver to utilize v4. After
doing this, the driver was using the ETPS/2 rather than the the standard
PS/2. Also, xinput finally displayed "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad".
However, the touchpad would not work at all and appeared to be out of
sync:

[ 3800.335307] psmouse serio1: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at 
byte 6

It seems that in my case, the touchpad/clickpad/smartpad is a newer
hardware version (possibly v7??) than what was originally written in the
elantech.c source. So it appears there may need to be additional code
added to support newer hardware versions. If anyone has the skills to
write such code, I would be glad to assist in any way possible.
