2009-01-18 07:58:46 Alexia Death description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Some of the touchpads previously known as "Synaptics Touchpad" by kernel are now known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and are not picked up with synaptics driver in X. The result is missing functionality, like tapping and scrolling. All it needs is a little secction in the synaptics fdi like this: <match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> And all is well again.

EDIT: Newer driver is needed also. The bug is that current driver does not recognize the elantechs as synaptics touchpads.

The result is missing functionality, like tapping and scrolling. "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" also needs to be included, the same symptoms occur with this device if it is not included in the fdi file. All it needs is a little secction in the synaptics fdi like this for Elantech: <match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> For the original Synaptics touchpad: <match key="info.product" contains="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> And all is well again. EDIT: Newer driver is needed also. The bug is that current driver does not recognize the elantechs as synaptics touchpads. Same thing for original Synaptics touchpads.
