That looks like the place I got it from. The package is not usable but
the source is. It builds fine...
** Summary changed:
- [Jaunty] synaptics fdi file does not contain entry for touchpads know as
"ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels
+ [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as
"ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels
** Description changed:
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.
