Title:
  Samsung NP700Z5A elantech touchpad not fully recognised

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Samsung NP700Z5A with an elantech touchpad. I've recently installed Oneiric Ocelot.  The touchpad is recognised as an Elantech PS/2 mouse however it does not seem to fully integrate with synaptics - there is no touchpad setting in the mouse config and synclient reports no synaptics driver is loaded.
  Following advice from bug #681904, I installed Seth's debug (v0.3) package and here is the output of dmesg afterwards:
  ...
  [  127.465736] SAF psmouse_extensions: max_proto = 16
  [  127.465745] SAF After lifebook: max_proto = 16
  [  127.548415] SAF After ThinkingMouse: max_proto = 16
  [  127.585135] SAF After synaptics: max_proto = 16
  [  127.614521] SAF After ALPS: max_proto = 16
  [  127.614527] SAF After HGPK: max_proto = 16
  [  127.680856] elantech: Elantech version query result 0x36, 0x1f, 0x06.
  [  127.720956] elantech: unrecognized firmware version 0x361f06
  [  127.720964] SAF After elantech: max_proto = 6
  [  128.224305] input: PS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11

  I suspect this is telling me that the touchpad is too new or recently
  modified to have a driver in the kernel. According to this thread
  (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129287) there is a patch
  in 3.2 but I tried installing that from the mainline ppa and it froze
  my touchpad altogether!
