Public bug reported:
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.
** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
