[Bug 355161] [NEW] ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad does not work (but its buttons do)

[Sebastian Urban]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

This touchpad is recognized but it does not work, i.e. the touch surface
does not work. However its two buttons (left/right click) do work. It
worked fine in Hardy.

A workaround is executing
modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse proto=imps
but this does not seem to be a real solution.
