i saw what Dmitry Torokhov said in the kernel.org posting, i had a little delve on the MSI forums and it appears the newer M662 uses a Elantech touchpad, which gets recognised in exactly the same way as my M660.

I have emailed elantech for either a linux driver of hardware specifications from - http://www.elantech.com.tw/003/contact.aspx

I have obtained a windows xp elantech touchpad driver, will any of it prove useful in getting the device recognised in ubuntu?
for example for chinese walling the driver development?

i am able to disable the touchpad my using - "sudo rmmod psmouse" and reenabling it with "sudo modprobe psmouse", but should be worthwhile getting it working properly.

Thanks
