Unfortunately, even if the driver complains of an unknown hardware version, the firmware version of the touchpad is not mentioned in the emitted error message:
[ 18.453420] psmouse serio1: elantech: unknown hardware version, aborting... The module contained in the attached dkms package should print the firmware version along with the error message. By knowing the firmware version, it will be possible to force the recognition of the touchpad and see if the structure of the packets is the same used by one of the already supported firmwares. Here are the steps you must follow: sudo dkms ldtarball psmouse-elantech-show-version.tar.gz sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-show-version sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse and post the output of the following command: dmesg | grep elantech When you're done don't forget to remove the module: sudo dkms remove -m psmouse -v elantech-show-version --all ** Attachment added: "psmouse-elantech-show-version.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1232877/+attachment/3858515/+files/psmouse-elantech-show-version.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232877 Title: Touchpad reported as: "elantech: unknown hardware version, aborting" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1232877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
