Please try the attached dkms package containing a fix for the new
hardware versions v9 and v10, probably you own one of them. Here are the
steps you must follow:
sudo dkms ldtarball psmouse-elantech-x551c.tar.gz
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-x551c
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmou
@Daniel, please refer to:

and:

As you can see, a patch for newer versions has been queued for inclusion
in kernel v3.13 and has been merged in v3.13-rc5
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that a BIOS update will change

emitted error message:

@Eric Haberstroh: judging from your dmesg snippet it seems that the
module you are using is not the one from kernel 3.8.0-27.40. Instead, it
seems to be the one from psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2, mentioned in:

@Amber Lauer, from the dmesg snippets you posted the version of your
hardware appears to be equal to 6. Your firmware version is in fact
0x361f00, the version number of the hardware is stored in the second
hexadecimal digit starting from the left (0x#6). Even if the
