[Bug 123775] Re: Elantech touchpad is incorrectly recogonised as a "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse"

[linuxonbute]

I have tried this with the alpha3 of Jaunty - live and it does seem to work.
It still misbehaves in that from time to time the mouse pointer moves to the point on the touchpad that I place my finger on. This only seems to affect the vertical position on the screen.
So if I am trying to move the pointer to the top of the screen and start from the bottom it will move half way up then, when I place my finger at the bottom of the pad, the pointer on screen jumps back to the bottom of the screen.
The pad seems to have very basic mouse capabilities. Tapping is disabled and there is no touchpad in System>preferences and gsynaptics does not seem to be available so I cannot test it to see if it can be configured.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000e Version=0000
N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7

B: EV=f
B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
B: ABS=3

In intrepid with kernel  kernel 2.6.27-9-generic, 2.6.27-10-generic or 2.6.27-11-generic
it still showed up as a logitech wheelmouse.
