I assume that Smart Pad refers to Elan Smart-Pad. In my case windows 7 recognizes this as V5.2. I found a related Achlinux bug

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=909394

which forwards to

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27442

and then it gets a bit too cryptic for me.
Also I suspect that

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/565543

is related or duplicate even though it is about ALPS touch pads. I have Acer eMachines E642G and same problem. Since I have the Elan Smart-pad I try to run apport-collect against this report.

Relevant log information included in the attachment, OS is 10.04 Lucid

I have the same problem. My notebook is a Samsuns RC512 with ELAN smart-pad. In linux (ubuntu 11.04) I cannot get the functions to work (vertical / horizontal scrolling, two finger scrolling etc, doesn't work). The synaptics doesn't work... Can anyone help?
