Hi,

I tried out the patched version of 3.8.0-17 (comment #100) first, my Elantech touchpad still reports as PS/2 Elantech ETF1059 Click-Pad. There is no "touchpad" tab in the mouse settings. Two-finger scrolling does not work.

It also does not work with kernel 3.8.0-29 or 3.8.0-30. Yet I don't have a Samsung notebook, but an Acer Aspire V5-551.

dmesg | grep elan reports:

[ 20.001091] elantech.c: PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_BAT param[0]=aa param[1]=0 param[2]=0
[ 20.049901] elantech.c: Elantech version query result 0x46, 0x1f, 0x00.
[ 20.075013] elantech.c: assuming hardware version 9, firmware version 0x46.0x1f.0x00

I'm not quite sure if this is the right bugreport for me, but I have been searching for more than four months now and this is the most promising thread I ever found. I would very much appreciate any assistance in the matter.

Sincerely,
Eric
