Mine isn't fixed. I still can't get anything under Linux with this touchpad. It used to work, the upgrade to Jaunty broke it somewhere in the line:

From my dmesg:
[ 13.633647] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input8

And I see this in my Xorg.0.log:
[ 7.982748] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Macintosh mouse button emulation" (type: MOUSE)
[ 7.984782] (II) config/hal: Adding input device ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad
[ 7.984916] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so
[ 7.990837] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
[ 7.991035] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" (type: TOUCHPAD)

But when I run xev and touch the touchpad I get no events reported at all. When I cat /dev/input/event8 there's nothing coming through. I am positive that the touchpad works because it used to work under Linux and it still works under Windows installed on the same machine.
