I've done some further investigation. I suspect that the issue relates to the fact that this is a USB elan touchpad.
It's currently being handled by the usbhid and hid_generic kernel modules. Everything I've read talks about synaptics or elan touchpads being supported through the psmouse module (for ps/2 interfaced devices). There seems to have been a recently added synaptics_usb module to support usb devices but perhaps it doesn't support elan hardware? Or should the synaptics xf86 driver be able to work with the underlying hid_generic module? I'm keen to help get this resolved so I'd appreciate pointers to other forums / projects / people with the necessary specific knowledge.
