We found same issue on several devices (running Debian Whezzy with kernel 3.14)

But. we have many other "same" device with this firmware reported from psmouse:

[ 9.906882] psmouse serio4: elantech: assuming hardware version 3 (with firmware version 0x450f02)
[ 9.920408] psmouse serio4: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x09, 0x16, 0x09.

i down know if same touch hardware with different firmware or the hardware is no same

On the firmware 0x450f02 the problem does not happen

Do you have a bios update to try?

 I will contact to our vendor to ask if bios update can be fix the buggie devices.
