Hello,

So far I've been having a problem with my Elantech multitouch trackpad in Linux. Basically all i get is right click, left click, and tap to click, along with basic movement. The problem seems to be rooted in improper detection of the trackpad, likely b/c its a new revision or whatnot. Of note is that working elantech trackpads of the past in forums i scouted through show up as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad". Mine just shows up in xinput as "PS/2 Elantech Touchpad". I think this might be a simple fix in the end, just improper detection, I hope. For reference, I've tried kernel 3.5 on Ubuntu 12.10 and kernel 3.8.0-17 on Ubuntu 13.04 thus far, with all combinations of psmouse.

What's expected: touchpad multitouch support
What happened: basic touchpad support
