Comment 62 for bug 1166442

Hello all - as an interim fix, I tried this elantech DKMS module build (thanks to System76, back in 2011): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/681904/comments/64 and it worked for me on my Gigabyte U2442V. I now see this with xinput:

  ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech ETF1059 Click-Pad id=16 [slave pointer (2)]

And I also get a "trackpad" tab in the Gnome pointer settings dialog (and in gpointing-device-settings). Haven't got two finger scrolling working yet, but vertical scroll area works, and disabling the pad while typing, and the oversensitivity of the pad in general I was experiencing has been reigned in. Hope this helps someone until a more out-of-the-box fix is implemented.
