The end of the file is not the same. It is :

+#ifdef CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH
+ {
+ .type = PSMOUSE_ELANTECH,
+ .name = "ETPS/2",
+ .alias = "elantech",
+ .detect = elantech_detect,
+ .init = elantech_init,
+ },
+#endif
        {
                .type = PSMOUSE_AUTO,

 };

I edited drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.h NOT /drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.h

as there is no such file or directory as /drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.h

Followed the rest of your instructions but it has made things worse in that
with the new kernel I have lost both wireless and sound.

There was still no section in /proc/bus/input/devices for the synaptics
driver.

When I first got the PC I had no sound which was due to the version of alsa
( 1.0.14 rather than 1.0.15 if I remember correctly ).

I have not tried installing it with the new kernel, just reverted to my
original settings for now.

If you want me to try this again should I clear out the changes and start
from scratch?

If so what do I need to do to return to the clean position I was in?

thanks,
Norman
