I am in the process of reverse engineering the protocol. I have executed the Windows 8.1 driver in a VM and have written a short program which puts the touchpad into the proprietary mode. The code can be found here:
https://github.com/mgottschlag/focaltech-tools If anybody wants to join me, before a proper driver can be written, the next step is to decipher the report packet stream - so if anybody wants to run the program on their machine and try to find out some information about the packet format, go ahead. I am going to collect my findings in the github wiki at the link above.
