Comment 140 for bug 1166442

Sorry, I should point out the following, should it help any others:

1. with the 3.11.0-12-generic kernel, my Touchpad *is* detected, i.e. xinput shows:
  ↳ PS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
and dmesg shows:
 input: PS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input14

2. there are no touchpads settings evident in the normal Cinnamon settings utility (gnome-control-center -> Mouse & Touchpads)

3. I see a touchpad settings option with the "gpointing-device-settings" app and I can turn on vertical and horizontal scrolling in the interface, but doing so does not provide the desired behaviour.

4. I've also tried installing the elantech-v7 module via dkms (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111236&p=12850603#post12850603) and it compiles, but it too fails to provide the desired functionality.
