I can also confirm this bug on the Samsung RF710, which is one of the
same new range as the RF510 and so probably has the same Elantech
touchpad. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, with the current kernel
"2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP". The touchpad is detected as "PS/2
Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7"
(from dmesg).

modinfo gives me this:

$ modinfo psmouse
filename:

parm:           proto:Highest protocol extension to probe (bare, imps, exps, 
any). Useful for KVM switches. (proto_abbrev)
parm:           resolution:Resolution, in dpi. (uint)

(uint)
parm:           resync_time:How long can mouse stay idle before forcing resync 
(in seconds, 0 = never). (uint)

So it would seem that the "force_elantech" option is supported. However
adding "options psmouse force_elantech=1" to
/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf seems to have no effect.After a reboot,
"dmesg | grep elantech" matches nothing.

Is there another way to find out the firmware version, or any other
information that may help to nail this one? I'm happy to offer whatever
limited help I can!
